Comments from clients, colleagues, the press: |
Greg Johnson, Expansion Project Director, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion |
"David is among the handful of team members whose work led to the approvals of our Expansion and the fire house. We really relied on his judgment, relationships, and experience every step of the way." |
Jeanne Myerson, President and CEO, The Swig Corporation |
"Homeless Prenatal Program was stuck. Our Board and staff had spent years consumed with a difficult real estate question - whether to develop an asset we owned or move on and buy an existing building to meet our needs. David pushed the Board to form a real estate committee, led the committee, and really got us moving. He framed the question to help us decide, set criteria and found us a new home – a $4.6 million dream come true. Then he worked with the staff, the lender, the City, and the architect to make it happen. His leadership skills really got us there." |
Steve Wong, Vice-President, SKB Companies |
"Without David, we would not have known that the zoning changes previously planned would be very restrictive, and that these changes were on a track to be approved in a relatively short time frame. David quickly arranged for us a seat at the table with City's planners, providing us the opportunity for us to have these potentially restrictive zoning changes revisited, by giving us the opportunity to demonstrate the need and benefits of more flexible zoning. His insight into the process allowed our efforts to be directed in an efficient approach." |
Michael Kriozere, President, One Rincon Hill |
"David Prowler played a key role in One Rincon Hill. Without his involvement, I doubt we would now be where we are - under construction on the tallest residential towers in the West.
San Francisco can be a tough place to develop a project of any scale. David's understanding of the City's dynamics and his calm and thoughtful counsel made all the difference. When we were negotiating exactions with the community and City Hall, explaining the project's strengths in neighborhood meetings, or dealing with challenges from mapping to forming a Mello Roos Financing District I relied on David." |
Former S.F. Mayor Willie L. Brown
|
"David's outstanding and dedicated work for the City has earned him the respect of his colleagues and the gratitude of the citizens of San Francisco." |
Andrea Jones, Senior Vice President, Catellus Development Corporation |
"If it weren't for David's leadership within City Hall, we'd probably still be negotiating and entitling Mission Bay. He was an effective problem-solver and advocate for the agreements between the Mayor and Catellus and his commitment to the deal helped to solidify community support." |
Gordon Chin, Executive Director, Chinatown Community Development Corporation |
"David led our organization's work to develop collaborative strategies with other community organizations and the City Planning Department leading to broad consensus and support for the passage of the Chinatown Rezoning. The Rezoning was an extremely important accomplishment, protecting thousands of existing affordable housing units as well as the scale and character of Chinatown." |
Steve Kundich, Director of Design and Construction, WaveExchange |
"David's relationships and his ability to lead us through the entitlement process were key to the success of our projects." |
Chip Conley, Founder and CEO, Joie de Vivre Hospitality |
"Thanks for all your help in making Hotel Vitale come to life." |
