Signature Development

Signature is a privately-held and locally-managed real estate development company based in Oakland, California. Our portfolio, which encompasses more than 20 years’ experience, proves our ongoing commitment to developing for impact. We have transformed sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and our history of successful developments in sensitive and often challenging locations sets us apart as an innovative developer with the local expertise needed to navigate complex entitlements. The scope of our work includes master-planned communities, commercial and mixed-use developments, adaptive reuse, urban infill, and both multifamily and single-family residential. Signature selects development opportunities based on their economic feasibility and potential for community impact. In particular, our team specializes in developments that involve neighborhood transformations, land restoration, sustainable design, and community building. Key portfolio highlights include Brooklyn Basin, a new waterfront residential, retail, and recreation district in Oakland on 65 acres of of formerly inaccessible industrial land, and the Hive district, a revitalized urban neighborhood in Uptown Oakland featuring new residences, community-driven retail, a hotel, and new office space.
