Commercial real estate projects developed by McCuen Properties in the Sacramento area include several large acreage business parks with more than 100 office and light manufacturing buildings totaling more than three million square feet. McCuen Properties developed the region's first master planned business and technology campus, Prospect Park, in Rancho Cordova in 1980. This pioneering development changed the character of regional commercial development and substantially influenced the economy, land uses, and urban form of the greater Sacramento region.

The firm's expertise in all phases of development is matched by the technical know-how to realize a diverse range of product types, including office buildings, data centers, telecommunications facilities, military base reuse, high-technology R&D centers, hotels, and downtown and riverfront redevelopment projects. We add value to projects through our in-house technical expertise in planning and design, infrastructure strategy, construction, finance and marketing. The extensive backgrounds that the members of our professional staff have in the technology industries gives McCuen Properties a rare ability to produce challenging specialized facilities in a timely and cost effective way. Our unusual level of in-house expertise enables McCuen Properties to be flexible and immediately responsive to the market, producing smart developments that minimize risk while maximizing value.
