Martin Potts Expands Into Northern California

SAN JOSE, CA-Recognizing the increasing development ambitions of its client base, Martin Potts & Associates, Inc. (MPA), a development services firm, has expanded into Northern California. According to the firm's leadership, this growth is driven by an existing client base which is expanding into or already has a presence in Northern California.

Based in Southern California since 1991, MPA has built a high profile roster of clients. The firm specializes in third-party management of planning, entitlement, budget/value engineering, pre-construction, construction and tenant coordination for new construction, renovations and value added opportunities.

To support its expansion, MPA has opened an office in San Jose led by Cory Chung. Chung will serve as senior project manager responsible for the growth and success of the new office by serving existing clients, as well as forging new relationships with the local development community and other developers looking to enter or expand in the market. 
“Cory is a strong addition to our team. He brings a solid local reputation and a well-rounded skill set to his role with MPA. He has an amazing wealth of experience having worked for Bay Area developers such as Catellus,” said Martin Potts, founder and president of MPA. “I'm excited about the timing of this expansion. Our relationships with our valued retail development clients provides a lucrative foundation to build more aggressively into our other development strengths such as office, mixed use, medical office and hospitality. With Cory's background and our existing team's experience, we look to build on the already recognized momentum.”

Prior to joining MPA, Chung was VP of construction for Catellus Development Corp., Oakland, managing all aspects of planning, design, schedule, budget, and construction of retail and site development projects. His experience also includes project manager with Prologis in Fremont, where he managed multiple turnkey, shell and site improvements for a variety of local and national retail and industrial tenants.

“There is a tremendous amount of development activity currently in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area in general. MPA is establishing this presence in Northern California at an opportune time to capitalize on the high development demand in the retail, office, mixed use, and other market sectors currently moving at a truly rapid pace,” Chung added.

With more than two decades of experience, Newport Beach-based Martin Potts & Associates, Inc. (MPA) has played a significant role in bringing some of the finest real estate projects to market on behalf of a number of leading owners and developers. The firm is proud of a list of client relationships that includes Irvine Company, Federal Realty Investment Trust, Watt Companies, Shapell Industries, and Hoag Hospital among others. Their development services encompass the entire critical path of taking a development from concept to completion, seeking ways to eliminate challenges and adding value.
