“I have known Mark Conroe for over 30 years and have seen his consistent commitment to excellence over the many different facets of the real estate industry he has been involved with. Mark did a great job as CEO of City Center Retail Trust and has been a successful developer of apartment, condominium, hotel and office projects in cities around the country. Our company has been partners with PDP on several projects and their performance has been excellent. Mark did a great job on the entitlements and planning of Fox Plaza in one of the toughest City’s for gaining permits in the country. We would gladly do more business with PDP.”

RREEF

“RREEF hired Mark Conroe’s firm to manage the re-development of our Benecia Fleetside industrial project. Mark brought his depth of experience and expertise to this challenging project and made this project a success. This led RREEF to form the $50 million California Land Fund with PDP and CalSmart to pursue land development opportunities. I have known Mark for over 15 years and think he is a savvy developer and operator of complex real estate projects; our experience with his company as our partner was excellent.”

Devcon Construction, Inc.

“I have worked with Mark Conroe for over 30 years both as a developer client and as our development partner. Mark was instrumental in managing the development activities for our downtown Boise project and ensuring that this investment achieved excellent profitability. This project was very complex due to the multiple product types built, the public-private partnership with the City, and the intricate financing involved; Mark managed all aspects of the project in a professional and expert fashion, and most importantly, he watched over our invested capital as if it was his own. In my business trust is paramount, and I trust Mark without reservation. Mark knows how to make money in the development business, which is why we are currently working on additional opportunities with PDP.”
