Redwood Real Estate Partners was established as a joint-venture in March 2006 between Sienna and Carl Chang, an accomplished real estate entrepreneur.  Redwood's mission is to build an enduring real estate acquisition and development company focused on value-add opportunities throughout the western United States. 

Since 1988, Carl has built a reputation as a highly successful real estate investor and developer who operates with the utmost integrity. Carl’s track record includes successfully acquiring or developing 24 shopping centers in California, Colorado and Arizona on behalf of the Chang family. Like all of Sienna’s partner companies, Redwood is led by an honest, knowledgeable and hard working individual with a passion to build a much larger and more successful business over time. 

Redwood’s investment strategy involves:

• Acquiring, developing, owning and managing a diverse range of quality real estate projects, with a particular emphasis on retail and community shopping centers, in select high-growth markets that are either under-served or have reasonable barriers to entry;
• Maintaining a strong and diverse tenant base to serve a broad range of consumers focused on everyday essentials thereby reducing the risk of becoming overly dependent upon a few, large anchor tenants;
• Focusing on markets in which Redwood has deep knowledge and competitive advantage, achieved through property management and tenant representation businesses wholly-owned by the Chang family, that have established operations and reputations in Redwood’s initial geographic markets; and
• Maintaining a conservative balance sheet to reduce financial risk.

Redwood has grown quickly since Sienna partnered with Carl to build the business. Sienna is working closely with Carl to develop the management team, infrastructure and funding strategy necessary to support the ongoing rapid growth of the business.
