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.
Returns

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.

Introducing our C-Suite Leaders Awards finalists in the Chief Operating Officer category
Simon Campbell

The best executives make their companies and communities better.

That’s the premise behind our new C-Suite Leaders awards program. We are celebrating executives from organizations across the Bay Area. The bottom line: A good executive is great for business.

This is the first time we’ve organized these awards.

Over the coming days we’ll announce the finalists across a range of c-suite positions. We’ll announce the winners at an awards gala in San Francisco on Oct. 9.

We're focusing these awards across the following c-suite positions:

  • Chief Accounting Officer: includes the official in charge of primary oversight of accounting operations, financial reporting and regulatory compliance.
  • Chief Legal Officer: includes general counsels and the official in charge of primary oversight of legal affairs, compliance and corporate governance.
  • Chief Marketing Officer: includes the top executive overseeing marketing, brand strategy and or communications functions.
  • Chief Operating Officer: the official in charge of primary oversight of daily operations.
  • Chief Product Officer: includes the official in charge of product strategy, development and lifecycle management.
  • Chief Scientific Officer: includes the executive in charge of scientific and medical, R&D, policy and regulatory decisions.
  • Chief Technology Officer: includes the official in charge of primary oversight and management of computer technologies.
  • CXO: This category is open to any other deserving C-suite role, such as chief philanthropy officer or chief sustainability officer.

It is our pleasure to introduce our first batch of finalists.

In the chief operating officer category, we are focusing on operators — leaders driving important work at important Bay Area companies that resonates far beyond this region.

These executives are translating vision into day-to-day operations, building culture, leading teams, getting things done. Often unsung, sometimes behind-the-scenes, now is the time to shine a light on them, their work and their impact.

Here are our finalists in the COO category:
