About The Cherrybrook Group

Tom Quaglia founded The Cherrybrook Group, a privately held company, in 2008. With over 45 years of real estate development experience throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area Region, The Cherrybrook Group is an active and relevant participant in some of the most cutting edge infill developments in the area.

Tom’s career has seen him lead the development and construction of millions of square feet of housing and mixed use communities. He previously was a partner with The Riding Group land development company, where for 15 years he oversaw the location of land opportunities, negotiated purchase agreements, developed land plans and product concepts, interacted regularly with governmental bodies and presented to the public and elected officials. Tom also acted as the Director of Forward Planning for 5 years at A-M/Greystone Homes; consulted for Australia’s largest home building company, A.V. Jennings, Ltd.; and was a Senior Planner in the planning departments for the City of Pleasanton and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

Tom is a graduate of the University of California at Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Planning and Management and currently resides in Los Altos, California with his family.

Strategic Sites

Sites are in-fill with existing infrastructure, close to existing employment-bases, and to which value can be added through planning, entitlements, and site management. Unlike our competition, we include in our land acquisition focus commercial, office or industrial reuse sites, or sites that are affected by other issues making development particularly complex or unconventional.

Strategic Alliance

Relationships and the need for cooperative developments are common characteristics of many of our projects. When necessary we select a cooperative relationship for a particular site or project based on the requirements for the development of the site or project. These strategic alliances allow us to enter previously untapped markets.

Sensitivity to Regional and Local Issues

Regional and local concerns play a significant role in shaping a development. It is imperative to understand these concerns early in the process and to address them effectively without jeopardizing the project’s politics, market appeal, or profitability.

"Our 45 year experience spans both the public planning sector and private development world which enabled us to translate our skills to successful project conclusions."

- Tom Quaglia

Market-driven Planning

Irrespective of changing development patterns and ancillary demands on developers, one fact cannot be forgotten: we serve the market. Thus, The Cherrybrook Group makes the market paramount in all of its development and planning strategies, and keeps the market foremost in mind when negotiating with the various municipal bodies or reviewing agencies.

High Value Products

Value is the theme of real estate in the new millennium. That is particularly true for today’s buyers. High-value projects and products limit cyclical market exposure and shorten project marketing time.
