Bay West Development is the real estate acquisition and development affiliate of Bay West Group, which was founded in 1979 by Bill R. Poland and is based in San Francisco, California. The Company's focus is to create value by acquiring and developing quality urban, infill, and opportunistic multifamily, office, industrial, and retail projects. With over 40 years of development experience, Bay West Development has the bandwidth not only to survive cycles in the market but also the foresight and depth to recognize opportunities and how to create value. The Company has chosen to concentrate its efforts in urban areas where high concentrations of talented young people, in the fields of technology, multimedia, and biotech, are based and where a prominent amount of knowledge-based economic factors exist. These areas have proven to rebound more quickly from economic downturns because of the entrepreneurial spirit of the people. In addition, Bay West Development has profitably overseen the development and redevelopment of projects that have enhanced the vitality of the individual neighborhoods. The Company has enjoyed adding vibrancy to the fabric of the communities where it has been involved.
