March 21, 2013

In March, the Paragon Outlets Livermore Valley project and Hoge Fenton were recognized at the San Francisco Business Times “Real Estate Deals of the Year Awards” and given the “New Retail” award for 2012 in the Bay Area.

The shopping center opened in November -- after seven years of iligence on the part of the developers and legal team at Hoge Fenton and with a very short construction time.

Kelvin Antill, one of Paragon’s main development partners, said, “We called it ‘Project Perseverance.’ We had to work irelessly to get all the approvals we needed.”

Paragon was the third-largest U.S. retail project built in 2012. Hoge Fenton lead attorney Sblend Sblendorio said, “It has been kicking butt ever since it opened.”

Hoge Fenton team members on the project were Sblend blendorio, Rosie Gomes-Harr, Michael McSweeney, Ginger hornell and John Hickey.
