Daniel Schaefer, PE, LEED AP — Vice-President

Dan specializes in facilitating sustainable communities. His 20 years of joint public and private experience provide a unique perspective to projects. Throughout California he has successfully completed large urban in-fill, redevelopment, mixed-use, and multi-phased private and public projects. In working with clients to create a shared vision, Dan implements those ideals into practical design solutions and straight-forward construction. His insightful contributions during the feasibility, alternative analysis, planning and entitlement/environmental review of projects ensures that a project's viability (e.g. financial, regulatory, constraints) is considered early in the process.

Dan's recent experience includes the redeveloping the 215-acre Alameda Naval Air Station FISC/East Housing Area into a mixture housing, commercial, and public developments; the Hillcrest Area Specific Plan Area planning and environmental analysis at the future eBART rail line station; the Castro Valley Boulevard and Richmond Macdonald Avenue downtown streetscape plans; Sonoma Mountain Village, the first North American project endorsed by One Planet Communities; and several stormwater pump stations and public parks within Mission Bay.

Dan received his BS in Civil Engineering from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California.
