What St. Anton Capital does

St. Anton Capital is a privately held, founder-owned real estate development, construction, and property management company headquartered in Sacramento, California, with additional Bay Area operations in Sunnyvale. Founded in 1989 by Peter Geremia, the company operates an integrated platform comprising three wholly owned subsidiaries: St. Anton Communities (development), Hurley Construction (a self-performing general contractor), and St. Anton Multifamily (long-term property management). The firm builds and retains ownership of apartment and mixed-use communities, focusing on smart-growth, transit-oriented, and pedestrian-oriented rental housing. Over 35 years, founder-led entities have built more than 13,000 apartment units across California, and the active 2024 pipeline exceeds 1,500 units of market-rate and affordable transit-oriented development.

The business model is vertically integrated end-to-end. Land acquisition is funded through internal capital and traditional financing, with the explicit competitive advantage of being able to close without entitlements in place. Hurley Construction self-performs general contracting to control cost and quality. Completed communities are owned long term and operated through St. Anton Multifamily, generating recurring rental income. Revenue streams therefore combine construction-service volume during the development phase with ongoing net rental income across the owned portfolio. Pricing for individual units is not publicly disclosed and varies by submarket, unit mix, and project phase. Customers are individual renters, with secondary B2B relationships anchored by proximity-based partnerships with major Silicon Valley employers.

The company's customer and partner profile is concentrated in California's supply-constrained employment corridors, with named reference projects tied to Google (Sunnyvale, Redwood City) and Facebook (Menlo Park's Anton Menlo, 394 units). Other notable co-developments include the Irvine Company joint venture at Tustin Legacy (Anton Legacy, 225 units, completed 2015). The portfolio spans infill TOD sites such as Innovia (290 units, Fremont, 2021), Murphy Station (108 units, Sunnyvale, 2022), and 300 Railway (119 units, Campbell, 2018), plus Sacramento-market assets including Northlake Senior Apartments (191 units, 2022) and Junction Crossing (80 units, 2024). The firm has no disclosed external institutional ownership, no public funding rounds, and no AI/technology pivot signals.
