Mr. Sumski has participated in over $1 billion of real estate transactions during his 18 years in the industry.
Recently completed and current projects include the redevelopment and disposition of Eastmont Town Center, a 700,000 square foot mixed use project which included office, retail and residential uses; the acquisition, re-entitlement and disposition of a core ½ acre land parcel in Downtown Oakland; the acquisition and renovation of a 100 room hotel in the Union Square area of San Francisco into boutique hotel; and the entitlement and marketing of a 70 unit single family and townhome residential development on the Island County of Bermuda.
