About Development
In the high-end real estate market of Atherton and the surrounding communities of the Peninsula, ‘Built by PPG’ has become a byword for sophisticated design, superior construction, and prudent financial investment. With three decades of experience and more than 200 completed projects, our skill set in building homes of enduring integrity and appeal remains unrivaled. We focus almost exclusively on Atherton—its landscape, its culture, its people—to create places that become part of the fabric of our community. The resale strength of the properties we develop is a testament to the power of our process and the quality of our product.
We build homes keyed to the rhythms and rituals of modern living, homes designed to enrich the lives of our clients and their families. Meticulous site development and intelligent floor plans that take full advantage of the Northern California light and climate are the cornerstones of our practice. The teams we’ve assembled under the PPG banner and the expertise they’ve cultivated over the past 30 years guarantee maximum efficiency and transparency at every stage of the process. When people say, ‘They don’t build houses like they used to,’ they’re right. We build them better.
