“The construction operating group is a brand new division to the Holland Partner Group,” said Julie Schuh, vice president of human resources. “We started out with two employees in December of 2010 and have grown to over 60 employees in Washington, Oregon, California and Colorado. We currently have eight construction projects underway in four states with another 12 projects ramping up through our development division.”
With a growth of net income more than quadrupling from 2010 to 2011, the Holland’s four divisions – development, construction management, investments, and management – show that property development is on the road to recovery, at least in certain West Coast locations.
CEO Clyde Holland launched Holland partners in 2001, after serving as West Coast group managing partner for Trammel Crow Residential, developing premier location multi-family units.
“As I looked back over our previous developments and looked forward as part of our strategic planning effort, I realized that the deals that were the most rewarding were those that enabled us to define new standards for pedestrian and transit orientations,” said Holland.
The Holland group holds to its core values as the keys to continuing success and growth: great people, great business, exceptional customer experience, and, last but not least, having fun.
The company’s development division guides every step of the creation of multi-family communities. Meanwhile, the construction management team works closely with the property management team and manages all construction-related activities of the Holland Partners Group: new construction from concept to completion, renovation, repair and remodel projects.
Holland Investments creates alignment with strategic partners to develop a focused market and product strategy in current competitive markets. The team currently has more than $2.5 billion in total transaction experience. The management group, Holland Residential, was formed in December 2002 as part of the strategic growth initiatives outlined within the Holland Partner Group, with the express mission of creating value for owners of multifamily communities.
Josh McDonald, marketing manager for Holland Residential, stressed that the company takes firm action to keep their developments green, providing healthier living environments. The company’s green living commitments include: onsite recycling stations, onsite compost receptacle, recycling containers or reusable bags provided to the residents, installation of bio-bags in pet stations, Energy Star compliant office equipment and appliances, utilization of fluorescent bulbs, incorporating zone heating/cooling to minimize electricity usage and standardizing the use of only zero and low VOC paints, limiting toxic chemicals. They use saline pools and hot tubs, eliminating harsh chemicals. With residents, the company encourages paperless applications, rent payment and community correspondence.
