About Us

Core is not everything to everyone. And we don’t try to be. But for companies whose site development challenges are becoming more sophisticated, Core is a more sophisticated business partner.

Our specialty is California’s complex zoning, planning, and entitlement processes. We know the state’s policies, politics, and laws inside and out and we have long-established working relationships with key people in over 200 jurisdictions. We can smooth out and eliminate the speed bumps in the approval process.

This is one of the reasons we’ve been hired to manage more than a thousand site/land acquisition, permitting, entitlement, and design projects -- more than any other development firm in California.

We’ve combined site acquisition, planning, and design to provide a total solution – one that takes advantage of synergistic relationships, direct communication and overall project management.

That allows us to maintain total control and prevent any aspect of the project from going over budget or running behind schedule.

How do we do it? By strictly adhering to a set of standards that are unlike anything else in the industry. We call them The Core Way and The Core Standard.

The Core Way – The simple, inescapable fact is that Core is unlike any other development services company. We’ve developed our own unique, successful way of doing things. It’s an official mantra designed to help us create a higher standard of reliability. We call it The Core Way. Internally, it includes our own special approach to talent identification & recruitment, our self-developed new employee training process, and human capital evaluation and development system – yielding the lowest turnover rate in the industry. Externally, it includes our own unique site identification system, leasing methodology, jurisdictional strategy, and automated project tracking functions.

The Core Standard – We’ve evolved to an entirely different level of accessibility and responsiveness so we can respond quickly to whatever issue might arise. We also offer a level of accountability & accuracy that no one else in the industry can offer. Our innovative quarterly report card has created an unmatched system of feedback, enabling us to be more responsive and resolve more issues faster than any other vendor. Instead of just doing the easy jobs quickly, we do every job right. When faced with their most difficult projects our clients call Core first and never need to make a second call.

Bottom line: We hold ourselves to a much higher standard than the industry has ever experienced.
