Report an IssueThe Sobrato Organization ("TSO") is a multi-generational, family-owned firm based in Silicon Valley with 92 employees. Sixty-five years ago, its founder began developing commercial real estate for high-growth companies before expanding to include building multifamily communities, investing in entrepreneurial enterprises, and giving back to the communities where the family lives and conducts business. The Sobrato family applies the same values of mutual accountability, collaboration, engagement, excellence, and integrity across all its philanthropic and business activities, leveraging the combined power of their investments to create value and opportunity in their local community and beyond.
TSO comprises three enterprise groups that are integrated for impact, all served by a shared enterprise operations platform:
1. Sobrato Philanthropies. The mission of Sobrato Philanthropies (“SP”) is to partner with communities to meet immediate needs, address systemic barriers, and pursue social justice to build a more equitable and sustainable world. Three generations engage in grantmaking, advocacy, and impact investing globally and, through a collective strategy, work to improve the Silicon Valley region by supporting thriving communities. Key fact: Since its founding, and due to the success of the Real Estate and Capital enterprises, Sobrato Philanthropies has donated cash, real estate, and free office space totaling nearly $1.5 billion. The organization currently grants $100 million annually, with additional financial commitments made through impact investing and social purpose real estate. TSO has been the largest donor to the Silicon Valley region for many years and has a diverse portfolio of work led by individual family members.
2. Sobrato Real Estate & Development. TSO’s Real Estate & Development group develops and operates world-class office buildings, apartment homes, and mixed-use projects in high-growth markets in the western United States.

3. Sobrato Capital. Sobrato Capital leverages TSO’s investment expertise, network, capital resources, and long-term investment horizon to generate superior investment returns that complement the success of the firm’s Real Estate & Development operations and build the resources of Sobrato Philanthropies.
