History of an Exceptional Real Estate Development & Construction Firm

California Gold was originally founded by Michael Q. Jones in 1975 and later incorporated in 1978. In 1981, Ron Woodall joined the company as a managing partner, and together, the pair built and expanded the firm’s capabilities and project breadth. In the early days of the firm, the partners wore many hats: construction managers, commercial contractors, CFOs and real estate brokers. Their experience—both in the field and in the office—gave them a comprehensive understanding of the myriad of aspects that create investment, development and construction opportunities.

As the company matured, so did its recognition that it had greater capabilities to offer its stakeholders and clients. Through California Gold’s experience advancing its own real estate portfolio, it realized that bringing projects online meant that they were often times required to run the gauntlet of regulatory entitlements. By 1988, the development division was born and offered to business owners and clients who had enterprises to expand, but lacked the desire or expertise to navigate the process of garnering governmental approvals.
