“My role at Newport Pacific Land Company is not just about creating great places, but also about addressing the issue of attainable housing through innovative product design,” said Martin. “I look forward to implementing my experience in all of our future communities.”

“I joined Newport Pacific Land Company because I was impressed with their experience as pragmatic problem solvers,” Martin explained. “The team steps back and looks at the entire puzzle, whether its land acquisition, planning, development or finance and finds innovative solutions to meet ever-evolving market demand.” Martin will help with these efforts, focusing on the goal of increasing market share with hard-won lessons learned in the business trenches of the building industry.

“Tom ’s aptitude will be instrumental in our strategy to grow into one of the largest and most innovative masterplan developers,” said Patterson, “whether that’s fulfilling unaddressed product segments or increasing the impact of new branding and marketing of our communities.
