Catellus Development Corporation is a landowner and mixed-use developer with a 30-year history. Catellus (pronounced: KA-TELL-US) projects include former airports, military bases, and urban industrial sites turned into retail, residential, and commercial sites. In addition to the role of master developer (street-level, i.e. site preparation), Catellus often also serves as the vertical developer (above street-level, i.e. buildings). Catellus developments attract high-value tenants such as Target and Lowes, and well-known restaurants like P.F. Chang's and Chipotle.

History
In 1984, two powerful railroad entities, Santa Fe Industries and Southern Pacific Company, proposed a merger to form Santa Fe Southern Pacific Corporation. The two companies then spun off a wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa Fe Pacific Realty Corporation, to manage all non-railroad real estate projects.

In 1990, Santa Fe Public Realty became Catellus, an independently-owned, publicly-traded company. The name Catellus is a combination of Ca (for California) and Tellus, an ancient Roman goddess of the earth. Catellus merged with ProLogis 15 years later in a deal worth $5 billion whereby industrial assets belonging to Catellus were added to an extensive portfolio belonging to ProLogis.

Today, Catellus is privately owned by TPG Capital and operates out of Oakland, California.

Catellus projects can be broken down into several development categories: urban redevelopment, mixed-use, military and government, brownfield, commercial, retail, and residential.
