Building the next great American city
In the heart of Northern California, with the largest advanced manufacturing park in America, the largest shipyard in America, and 175,000 new homes of all types in vibrant walkable neighborhoods.
We believe that California can build great things once again.

The Bay Area was a center of shipbuilding and manufacturing that created the arsenal of democracy and helped win WW2.

“In most big cities, well-meaning planners lack the resources and incentives to eliminate urban gridlock. In California Forever, the investors’ fortunes depend on creating an urbanism that soars….
….an audacious effort to operationalize the last 30 years of research in urban economics.
…The comprehensive permit model should be extended to urban development projects of statewide significance, including California Forever.”
“California Forever is a promise to overcome the ultimate test of a declining society—both a bet that we can build a new city, and a bet that this new city can be built in the same location as our present stagnation.”
“But, for me, California Forever represents an existential moment for the wonderful state that I call home…Building a picturesque city where people can live close to their jobs and manufacture the products that they invent on underutilized land should not be controversial. It should just happen.
If we can’t let something like California Forever flourish, we’re signaling that California has lost its way, its spirit and its ability…”
“The plan is New Urbanism on a scale that we haven’t seen before….
…Such a project could foster a new mindset that enables mass urbanism again, making urbanism the default option rather than a niche, restoring an approach that served the country well for its first 175 years.”
