McCuen Properties was selected through a public competition to manage the development of Mather Field, a 5,800-acre decommissioned Air Force base, through a public/private partnership with Sacramento County. McCuen Properties introduced an economic strategy unusual for military base conversions: demolishing most existing buildings and selling the land at market rate to private developers. Twelve million dollars was invested in landscape architecture to re-brand and modernize the property and backbone infrastructure. The finance strategy to accomplish these improvements was created by McCuen Properties. As development manager, McCuen Properties markets, leases, and provides property and asset management for existing buildings; and has managed the development of new construction at Mather Commerce Center, the first phase of the conversion effort. The entrepreneurial approach adopted by McCuen Properties has proven successful. In less than half the time originally projected to complete the sale of all property at Mather Commerce Center, 80% of the property was sold to private developers. The U.S. Department of Defense identifies Mather Commerce Center as one of the nation's most successful conversions of a military base to civilian use. Significant income tax credits are available to businesses operating at Mather through its designation as a Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area (LAMBRA). Up to $1,500,000 per year in tax credits can be earned for eligible equipment purchases and up to 50% of qualified employee wages over five years. County and State agencies will assist Mather businesses in locating, screening, hiring, and training their new employees.

McCuen Center One and Two are comprised of twin, two-story, large floor plate office buildings prominently located at the entrance to Mather Field. The buildings offer the high image architecture and landscape features that are trademarks of McCuen projects.

The 84,000-square foot, Class A office building at Mather Field, developed by McCuen Properties, was leased by the County of Sacramento's Water Quality Division and Department of General Services. The property was sold to a Bay Area investor in June 2001. As developer, McCuen Properties obtained entitlements, arranged financing, defined the project's scope and aesthetic character, managed construction and leased the property. McCuen Properties also serves as property manager for McCuen Center One.

McCuen Properties is developer of this 95,000-square foot office building, which will be completed by Summer 2004. Like its twin, the building offers large, efficient floor plates, state-of-the-art energy efficient HVAC systems, low-E glass, on-site power, prominent signage, three fiber optic providers, and additional parking for high intensity users. This Class A office building currently is available for lease. As developer, McCuen Properties obtained entitlements, arranged financing, defined the project's scope and aesthetic character, managed construction, and will lease, own and serve as property manager.

Mather Commerce Center is the new 34-acre office campus McCuen Properties is developing in partnership with Fulcrum Properties. Directly south of the Mather entrance, this project will total 410,000 square feet in up to six buildings ranging from 50,000 to 90,000-square feet. We have planned a landmark office campus with unique worker-friendly spaces, exterior meeting and recreation areas and a central pedestrian parkway connecting all the buildings and Mather Plaza. Dual power feeds are available from two separate substations that also serve Mather Medical Center and Sacramento Mather Airport. Three fiber optic providers are available, as well as on-site power. RT bus routes stop adjacent to the property and connect to Sacramento Light Rail. Mather Sports Center and La Bou Restaurant are a short walk from Mather Commerce Center. The first building in the office campus, a 72,000-square foot office for the Sacramento Office of County Education was constructed in 2003.

McCuen Properties is construction manager for the adaptive reuse of a 180,000-square foot aircraft maintenance facility into a state-of-the-art telecommunications building in McClellan Technology Park. The tenant is the first triple media utility in the U.S. to provide telephone, cable television, and Internet access via a fiber optic network run to customer homes. In addition to delivering construction management services, McCuen Properties provided its unique knowledge of the communications industry and was a vital link between highly technical equipment providers and the construction team for the infrastructure work, enabling the seamless combination into one facility of complex systems serving the client's data center, telephone central office, Internet service provider and cable television operations.

This 150,000-square foot, two-story office building and data center includes 50,000-square feet of raised floor area and is the State of California's primary data center. The central plant serving the building provides redundant mechanical and electrical systems, including three 750-kilowatt generators and critical facilities monitoring systems. During the construction management phase of this project, McCuen Properties' expertise in high-technology issues expedited construction and assured completion of the project on time and within budget. After the construction was complete, McCuen Properties continued to manage the property on behalf of the State until they assumed the property management responsibilities directly.

McCuen Properties developed the 154-room Hilton Garden Inn in the South Natomas area of Sacramento as a turnkey project.

A 400,000-square foot corporate headquarters for The Money Store was developed and the construction managed by McCuen Properties. It was the first building to be finished at Raley's Landing.

The 400,000-square foot, 10-story office building at Raley's Landing incorporates a 4,000-square foot data and telecommunications facility and is associated with an adjacent 1700-stall parking garage. McCuen Properties brought the client to the site, arranged financing for the project, and managed the construction process, including compliance with entitlements; acquisition of permits; establishing budgets and schedules; and managing the contracts and performance of the general contractor and professional consultants.

A rural residential community in the foothills of El Dorado County currently is being developed by McCuen Properties on 7,800-acres. The master planned community features home sites ranging from 5-acres to 85-acres, 40 miles of equestrian and hiking trails, and more than 2,800 acres of open space consisting of savannah grassland, wildlife habitat, creeks and oak woodlands. McCuen Properties is in the process of obtaining entitlements and will offer lots for sale to residential developers who must agree to meet strict architecture and landscape standards for the property.

Acquired in 2002, McCuen Properties is the owner and manager of this 140,000 square foot suburban office building. Prominently located along the American River Parkway the building is home to a number of prestigious firms.

Peter McCuen pioneered the landscaped suburban office park concept in Sacramento in the 1980s at Prospect Park, Sutter West and Metro Center. Development totaled more than 3 million square feet of office, R&D, and light manufacturing space in more than 100 buildings. As the first master planned business park in the area, Prospect Park substantially altered the form of commercial development in the greater Sacramento region. McCuen attracted to Prospect Park major companies-including Sprint, Aetna, Continental Insurance and Blue Cross-that changed the character of the regional economy.
