The Sobrato Organization

The Sobrato Organization or “TSO” is a multi-generational, family-owned firm based in Silicon Valley. For nearly 70 years, the Sobrato family has been developing commercial real estate for high-growth companies, building multi-family communities, investing in entrepreneurial enterprises and giving back to the communities in which the family lives and conducts business. TSO is comprised of three synergistic enterprise units, all serving one common mission: to build a more equitable and sustainable world through business and philanthropic leadership. The three enterprise units are:

  • Real Estate: TSO’s Real Estate group develops, owns and operates world-class office buildings, apartment homes and mixed-use projects in high-growth markets in the western United States. Its three main objectives are providing strong risk-adjusted returns in support of the Sobrato family’s charitable and personal goals, advancing TSO’s social impact objectives by leveraging its real estate resources and contributing to the local communities in which it works.
  • Sobrato Capital: Sobrato Capital leverages TSO’s long-term investment horizon to generate competitive, values-aligned returns that complement the success of our Real Estate operations and fuel TSO’s equity and sustainability results. Sobrato Capital pursues a full-spectrum investment approach, from concessionary impact investments that prioritize positive social or environmental returns to market rate investments that target superior market rate returns.
  • Sobrato Philanthropies: Sobrato Philanthropies leverages the power of multiple giving vehicles, including the Sobrato Family Foundation and three generations of values-driven philanthropists, to advance regional, state, and national work. In partnership with our grantees, our team invests in the areas of economic mobility, housing security, educational equity and climate action. Individual Sobrato family members also champion a wide range of issues and causes.

The Sobrato family applies the same values as TSO of mutual accountability, collaboration, engagement, excellence, and integrity across all their philanthropic and business activities, working to leverage the combined power of their investments to create value and opportunity in their local community and beyond.
