  • The key to the long-term success of any large-
    scale building or complex is a sound master-
    plan.
  • Steve Terhune seeks to maximize the quality
    and profitability of the project for his institutional
    and development clients.
In the mid 1980's, as a project manager for a commercial development firm,
Steve Terhune provided land -planning services to the company's effort to
market land acquisitions. As a primary Developer, E.C. Garcia and
Company was a primary developer, purchasing parcels as large as 12
square miles , subdividing them into smaller parcels, planning roads,
utilities, establishing water company's and selling them to secondary
purchasers.

Steve provided plans for those parcels, working with County,  State and
Federal agencies and prospective purchasers to develop and market those
properties. For, example, the 709 acre parcel pictured below included a
golf course design by Steve. He accompanied the buyer to the desert site
and walked the course with him, showing him the site's advantages, the
practicality of the layout and eventually selling him on the project.

In the eastern region, Steve has provided a long-term plan to The Reading
Rehabilitation Hospital for an  80-acre parcel adjacent to their primary
facility for a multilevel adult care development , including skilled nursing,
alzheimers care, independent-living and medical office functions. The plan
works around a large holding pond, utilizing  it as a focal point, provides a
tree-lined grand entry drive, and hosts a chapel symbolically perched
overlooking the site.
