Past Projects

Overview

Sand Hill Property Company (“SHP”), operator of the Silicon Valley Regional Center, specializes in the Silicon Valley real estate market and has a proven track record of selecting and executing exclusive value-add real estate projects. SHP approaches each project with the intention of retaining it long-term within the company’s own real estate portfolio. However, SHP has also sold projects upon completion or shortly thereafter given the elevated demand in the marketplace for high quality and high security real estate, characteristic of the company’s projects.

SHP has built over 40 projects throughout the Silicon Valley, ranging in complexity from stand-alone retail stores to multi-use city centers with millions of square feet in building area. SHP’s vast portfolio includes projects of all use types, including shopping centers, office complexes, medical facilities, hotels, and mixed-use communities.

The company’s reputation for successful projects has made SHP one of the most sought after development partners among the region’s elite investors.
