The
Newport Pacific Land Company (NPLC) is pleased to announce the hiring of
veteran industry professional Tom Martin as Senior Vice President, Community
Development. Over a 25-year career with industry
giants Lennar and Fivepoint Communities, Martin has carved out a reputation in
the building industry as an expert placemaker, having been involved in an array
of high-profile communities including the Great Park Neighborhoods and Coto de
Caza in Orange County, as well as The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego
County.
“My
role at Newport Pacific Land Company is not just about creating great places,
but also about addressing the issue of attainable housing through innovative
product design.” said Martin. “I look forward to implementing my experience in
all of our future communities.”
“I
joined Newport Pacific Land Company because I was impressed with their
experience as pragmatic problem solvers,” Martin explained. “The team steps
back and looks at the entire puzzle, whether its land acquisition, planning,
development or finance and finds innovative solutions to meet ever-evolving market
demand.” Martin will help with these efforts, focusing on the goal of
increasing market share with hard-won lessons learned in the business trenches
of the building industry.
“We
are very excited to have Tom join our company,” said John Patterson, a founding
partner of NPLC. “He’ll be a critical
point person in creating the sort of walkable and interactive neighborhoods for
which he has become known. By
incorporating a thoughtful approach to this type of community design, Tom will play
an important role in expanding the types of housing options we will offer,
while enhancing the overall value to our communities.”
Providing
a means to help residents afford new housing is of great importance to NPLC and
is especially important in states like California, where providing attainable
housing is becoming increasingly difficult.
“Our intention is to work with governmental entities to help them appreciate
how we can effectively provide people the opportunity to realize their dreams
of homeownership,” Martin added. “We
know that if a city is housing challenged, our job is to listen to their
concerns, be good community stewards, and bring creative solutions to the table.”
“Tom’s
aptitude will be instrumental in our
strategy to grow into one of the largest and most innovative masterplan developers,”
said Patterson, “whether that’s fulfilling unaddressed product segments or
increasing the impact of new branding and marketing of our communities.
