Costanoa

As an equity partner with Prime Property Capital, Inc., a principal of Upton+Partners directed the acquisition, entitlement, permits and approvals, design, financing and construction of this environmentally sensitive project situated on a 40,000-acre pristine site on the northern California coastline.

Upton+Partners managed 24 State and Federal permits and approvals, instituted “El Nino” construction methodology and adjacent highway designs to provide access to the site. Facilities included a boutique hotel, enclosed tent structures, retail and dining accommodations and planned recreational open space.

The project was awarded the “Deal of the Year” in 1999 by the Ernst & Young and San Francisco Business Journal and was featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and USA Today.
