About

Lion Partners is a residential land investment and development company founded by Satish Lion, a real estate executive with over 20 years of experience in land acquisition, entitlement, and development across California.

Satish launched Lion Partners to specialize in repositioning residential land — including single-family and multifamily communities — through disciplined investment, strategic execution, and responsible planning.

The company is backed by a network of strategic investors led by Steve Cameron, Founder of Foremost Companies and Foremost Pacific Group, bringing deep industry expertise and strong financial support.

At Lion Partners, we believe great projects begin with great partnerships — built on trust, expertise, and a shared commitment to community-focused development.
