About Bohannon Companies

The Bohannon Companies develop, maintain, and manage properties throughout the Bay Area, including numerous projects that are noted for their innovative land use. Bohannon properties are characterized by quality and vision, and each project plays an important role in its surrounding community. As a family-owned firm, the company is highly responsive and efficient, recognizing new opportunities quickly and managing its holdings with a personal touch.


The Bohannon family has represented real estate and land use innovation on the Peninsula since the 1930s. Through the 1930s and 1940s, the elder David D. Bohannon developed approximately 25,000 residential properties in Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties. His first commercial endeavors included the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, the San Lorenzo Village Shopping Center in San Lorenzo, and Bohannon Industrial Office Park in Menlo Park. As the company has evolved to focus primarily on retail, R&D, and office development, it has always looked forward with a view to delivering responsible real estate projects that meet the needs of tenants and the public.
