It’s the way we think 
that sets us apart.

TMG Partners has been in the business of developing award-winning, financially-successful, community-based real estate for 40 years. As much as we have accomplished over the last four decades, we believe it is the way we THINK about our region, the risks we manage, the critical timing of our projects and the value we create that sets us apart.
Localism

Real Estate is
a local business.

No, really.

The San Francisco Bay Area is an extremely diverse real estate marketplace with countless micro-business climates teeming with possibility. But you have to be here—and know here—to make the most of the opportunities all around us. Having been exclusively committed to the Bay Area for four decades, we have developed a keen local intuition which gives us a unique advantage in recognizing both the opportunities and risks in this complex market.
Regionalism

We Think 
Mega

If we try to solve our land use problems by focusing
only on the nine Bay Area counties, we will fail.

Michael CovarrubiasChairman & Co-CEO

As the Bay Area’s economy has grown over the last four decades, so too has its challenges—particularly related to transportation, housing, affordability and climate change. To plan for growth of 4 million more people in the next third of a century, TMG is thinking bigger, beyond our nine Bay Area counties, and working on longer term strategies to create greater connectivity across our entire megaregion.
Timing

It’s got to work at low tide as well as high tide.

Some of our best deals are the ones we didn’t do.

Matt FieldCo-CEO

Almost anyone can make money in a positive economic climate. But it takes discipline, depth of market knowledge and experience in all major product types to know when to buy and when to sell. The most profitable deals can be the ones you decide just don’t make sense or are outbid by an “out of town” competitor. Because we are active in our markets on a daily basis, TMG Partners has managed a portfolio through 40 years of market cycles that works in all phases and has withstood the sands of time.
Vision

huh?

Once it’s obvious, it’s too late.

Cathy GreenwoldSenior Advisor

If you wait for the statistical proof to confirm real estate opportunities, you’re looking backwards. TMG Partners has cultivated an approach to studying the business landscape that reveals market opportunities before they become obvious. Our contrarian investment strategy balances optimism and caution with the intent of turning forward-looking investments into no-brainers.

Redefining IRR

Our measure for success goes beyond profit.

Lynn TolinChief Operating Officer &
Executive Vice President

Most investment professionals have a clear understanding of IRR: Internal Rate of Return, a purely financial measurement of performance. At TMG we use a different definition. For us, IRR means balancing Integrity, Relationships and Results. We measure every aspect of our business through this lens to ensure our partners, communities, tenants and buyers are treated with the highest degree of respect and responsibility while we consistently deliver superior financial performance.

ReadyTech Expanding Space at Historic Breuner Building

SAN FRANCISCO/OAKLAND (February 22, 2017) – TMG Partners, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s largest mixed-use property developers, today announced the firm leased 9,200 square feet of office space to online training software provider ReadyTech.

The technology company will relocate from the 2nd floor to the 7th floor, renovating the space for a larger and more open floorplan to accommodate its growing team. TMG Partners is implementing extensive renovations to the building, which includes a full lobby and common area renovations, façade upgrade, and a complete HVAC, elevator and fire life safety modernization.

“The Breuner Building has a long, storied history in Oakland, and we are thrilled to be in a position to make the extensive and needed improvements to restore this Art Deco icon,” said Drew Thomas, Partner with TMG. “Located in the surging Oakland Uptown market, with large floor plates, high ceilings and within two blocks of BART, Lake Merritt and a plethora of restaurants and entertainment venues, the property is ideally suited for the creative, technology and start-up tenant such as ReadyTech. We currently have several additional availabilities, including the full 2nd floor (22,364 square feet) which will be ready for improvements by the end of the second quarter of this year.”

Built in 1931, the building was originally designed by the famed architect Albert Roller as the home of Breuner’s Home Furnishings. Clad in green terra cotta tiling, Art Deco styling and motifs depicting furniture craftsmen adorn the building’s southern and eastern elevations. The building’s northern façade also serves as “The Great Wall of Oakland,” a 100′ x 100’ installation which provides a backdrop for monthly independent films screenings and vertical dance troop performances, playing a central role in the Uptown neighborhood’s cultural resurgence.

“We’ve grown with this building numerous times and our team enjoys its immediate access to Uptown Oakland’s restaurants, Lake Merritt and public transportation,” said Amanda Mathews, Director of Finance at ReadyTech. “The promise of building upgrades and additional investments helped solidify our decision to make 2201 Broadway our headquarters to continue expanding our online training business.”

Cushman and Wakefield’s John Dolby, Dane Hooks and Charlie Sweeney lead all leasing efforts for the building. CM Commercial’s Matt Currie advised the tenant ReadyTech.
