Ben Tinklenberg

I grew up in the Bay Area.

Rebelling against my Silicon Valley upbringing, I studied Civil Engineering at Cal Poly SLO to build in the "real world."

I worked on transportation infrastructure at DKS Associates.

I led entitlement and permitting for BuildCasa.

Now, I build homes with a tight group of people (investors, mentors, partners) who want to build middle-class housing.

My hometown and others nearby were underbuilt for multiple decades during unprecedented economic growth and demand increases. Were it not for our family friends providing discounted rent, I would not have grown up in the Bay.

I build long overdue housing for the middle class and advocate for policies that will result in lower housing costs. I want to build the housing economy that I wish my parents, who were lifelong renters, had access to.

There are many ways we can lower housing costs. The two that will result in the most consumer savings:

I like rock climbing. My goals are to climb V10 and Freerider, when I get the time.

I want to protect California's beautiful natural environment by building infill.
