Oakland Harbor Partners

Oakland Harbor Partners is a collaboration between two real estate development firms with a long history of local involvement and community participation in Oakland, the East Bay and the larger Bay Area region.

Signature Properties has been building communities of enduring value in the San Francisco Bay Area since its founding in 1983. The family-owned company cherishes its reputation as a pioneer willing to invest in developing high-quality residential, mixed-use and commercial projects that have served to enhance the communities in which they are built. Signature Properties' track record of success in the development of "smart growth" projects in underutilized communities in need of private development has served to encourage others to follow in its path. Because of the success of Durant Square in East Oakland, Abella in San Pablo and Landmark Place in downtown Oakland, "smart growth" development in the Bay Area is a reality. With over 20 years of success building communities for people in the Bay Area, Signature Properties approaches Oak to 9th knowing what it will take to bring a vision of a vibrant waterfront to Oakland.

Reynolds & Brown has developed more than 7,500,000 square feet of commercial real estate and has established an impressive history of success in development (which includes residential mixed-use) throughout the San Francisco Bay Area since its founding in 1963. The Reynolds & Brown portfolio includes a diverse balance of retail centers, business parks, research and development parks, mid-rise office buildings, entertainment and recreational complexes, warehouses and distribution facilities as well as residential properties.

The Company’s reputation has been shaped by a commitment to quality, service and innovation first articulated by its founders, Jon Q. Reynolds and David A. Brown. The foundation of the Company’s strength is based on these fundamental objectives: maintaining an identity as a local firm, building a capable team of professionals who are leaders in their fields and developing first-class projects that reflect strong exterior and interior design. Structural integrity, functional design and finish detail are well-known trademarks of a Reynolds & Brown development.

Involvement in community affairs is an integral part of the Reynolds & Brown philosophy. A strong local presence has enabled the Company to establish and maintain long-term relationships and visibility with area businesses, tenants, public officials and other community leaders.
