Stratford Osgood

About This Project

Relocation of an entire 500-student campus in the saturated San Francisco Bay Area market, in less than 3-years from search to construction to occupancy.

Challenge/Opportunity

Stratford School, which is a part of the largest private school network in the country, was given notice that its landlord would not be renewing its lease on a campus that served over 500 students. Within a 3-year period, the school had to identify, secure, entitle, and build an entire campus for 500+ students in one of the most coveted real estate markets in the county.

Approach

InSite worked hand and hand with the City of Fremont to identify areas of the city that would be suitable for the school.  We implemented our proprietary process to identify all off-market opportunities within the identified area.  We helped the school secure an entitlement contingent agreement to purchase one of the off-market properties that we had identified.

Results

Stratford purchased the off-market property and was able to open their doors on time. InSite efforts, determination, and process helped to eliminate the need for the school to find a temporary site.  Stratford was able to build a beautiful state of the art facility that will house its students for decades to come.
