About Us

ABOUT US

RDM is a family owned and operated, fully integrated residential development and property management company based in San Francisco. We specialize in deep value-add properties, targeting buildings in need of a complete “down-to-stud” renovation and infrastructure modernization. Our projects have varied from adding a 22-car garage under a fully occupied building to reconfiguring and rebuilding entire apartment buildings from the inside out. Our goal is to provide the highest quality level apartment with a matching level of service. Being a family business, we value our relationship with each tenant and aim to ensure you feel at home in our apartments.

Meet the Team!

Robert Mayer

Robert, best known as Bob, is the founder and owner of RDM. After earning a degree in Architecture from Princeton in 1970, he continued on to the University of Pennsylvania to acquire a Masters in Architecture several years later. He then began a lifelong career in real estate with the purchase of his first 4-unit apartment building in 1972. Recognizing the unlocked potential of the building, he added a penthouse floor to create a beautiful owner’s unit with views and a small parking garage on the ground level. After completing the project and spending a few years travelling around the world, he returned to enroll at the Stanford Business School to earn an MBA, and subsequently went on to work in commercial real estate lending at Citibank in the San Francisco Bay Area. He later returned to development in 1996 with the purchase of our North Point Building and thus starting RDM. Nowadays, you’re most likely to find Bob flying his plane through the backcountry of Idaho, enjoying the mountains of the West.

Drew Mayer

Drew is the Senior Designer and Project manager for RDM. He graduated from Lehigh University in 2013 with an architectural degree and subsequently went to work for a combination real estate development and high-end home design/build company in San Francisco as a designer and project manager. After several years there, he moved to RDM to focus on getting Filbert Street and 15 th Street construction projects underway. An avid homebrewer in his free time, you’re likely to find Drew out on the patio brewing up his latest batch.

Reid Mayer

Reid is the Senior Asset and Property Manager in charge acquisitions, leasing, and tenant relationships, but has been know to lend a hand to the construction projects when needed. Graduating from Trinity College (CT) in 2011 with a degree in economics, he subsequently went to work for Wells Fargo as a financial analyst. After completing the program at Wells, Reid transitioned to ARA Newmark where he served as a financial analyst and a transaction manager for just over three years. You’re likely to find Reid somewhere in the Sierras on the weekend enjoying backpacking and skiing.

Erick Gutierrez

Eric is the Foreman of RDM and has been with the company since 1990. He has overseen the renovations of every project owned by the company and has a wide array of skills. From simple maintenance work to managing our construction team and the day-to- day on a job site, Erick has been vital to RDM in transforming our properties. On the weekends you’re likely to find him barbequing in his backyard and enjoying the sunshine around his pool with his family.
