Reynolds & Brown

What Reynolds & Brown does

Reynolds & Brown is a privately-held, full-service commercial real estate development and property management firm founded in 1963 by Jon Q. Reynolds and David A. Brown, headquartered in Concord, California. The firm develops, owns, leases, and manages commercial properties throughout the San Francisco East Bay Area and Northern California, with a current portfolio of more than 50 properties spanning office/flex, industrial, retail, loft, and land product types, and over 8 million square feet developed cumulatively since inception. Named assets include Bluerock Center (Antioch), Pleasanton Square (Pleasanton), Marina/Merced Business Park and Delta Catalina Business Park (San Leandro), Greenville Business Center (Livermore), New Market Lofts (Oakland Jack London Square), and the forward-development Manteca Crossing (Manteca).

The firm operates through an integrated in-house team covering acquisition, design, construction, finance, legal, leasing, and property management, with approximately 20 employees led by President & CEO Dana Parry, CFO/COO Chuck Pearson (with the firm since 1982), Chairman and Founder Jon Q. Reynolds, VP Marketing & Leasing Kelly Dossa, and VP Development Drew Mickel. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring commercial leasing of owned space, ongoing property and asset management fees, build-to-suit and recapitalization development work, and transaction fees on acquisitions and dispositions. Distribution is direct: properties are listed on the company website and leased in-house, with no third-party brokerage channel and no publicly disclosed pricing beyond select industrial units in San Leandro at $1.60-$1.65/SF/mo. The company is founder-owned, has no disclosed outside institutional investment, and pursues a long-term build-to-hold ownership philosophy, with several properties held for over 30 years and many tenants retained for over 20 years.
