SunCal’s unrivalled ability to successfully manage large-scale community developments is rooted in the principles of our founder, Boris Elieff, who set out more than 75 years ago to create a different kind of real estate company. Today, SunCal adheres to these same principles, allowing us to create quality master-planned communities that consistently exceed all expectations. SunCal’s formula for success is based on the following principles:
Distinctive Developments
SunCal acquires, entitles, and develops properties for sale to homebuilders and commercial and multifamily developers. The company adds value to every undertaking by expertly identifying suitable properties, understanding key site qualities and determining appropriate options for both the broader community and those who will use the land once it is developed.
Exceptional Planning
Whether creating a destination-style masterplan in a rural setting or re-entitling an infill site to develop a mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly community, SunCal’s team of forward thinkers and architectural visionaries hand-selects the best locations and creates plans that provide for suitable, energy-efficient housing types and styles that foster the environmental, historical, and cultural characteristics of each neighborhood.
Innovative Strategies
SunCal and our team of expert consultants utilize innovative approaches and creative problem solving to effectively transform challenging sites into desirable developments. Our cutting-edge planning solutions ensure we overcome complex issues relating to land acquisition, environmental remediation, transportation, utility installation, and historic preservation. The end results are livable communities that complement cities’ existing surroundings.
Outstanding Communities
We plan our communities to serve the needs of current and future residents and tenants, along with those of our financial, governmental, and building partners. Our comprehensive masterplans often include schools, parks, places of worship, retail establishments, restaurants, recreational facilities, and other amenities that make a community feel like home.
Rock-Solid Relationships
Building and sustaining ongoing quality relationships with homebuilders, commercial developers, and financial partners is vital in turning our ideas and plans into vibrant communities. Establishing positive working relationships with local, state, and federal officials and incorporating their needs, concerns, and objectives into every stage of the planning process is key to fulfilling our ambitious community goals. In the end, outstanding communities are created that surpass the expectations of everyone involved, including existing residents, commercial-end users, the future residents who will call our neighborhoods home, and our financial partners.
Development Expertise
Fulfilling the goals of our builder and investor partners, as well as anticipating the needs of current and future workers and residents, is not only the emphasis of all SunCal’s endeavors, but also makes it possible for the company to ensure that each SunCal enterprise reflects the traditions and rhythms of the existing communities they join.
