About the Owner
MARK HANSON
Mark was born and raised in a small logging town in Northern California, McCloud, CA. He was a fourth generation McCloudian in a town of 1,600 people and 100 kids in his high school. Mark is extremely grateful for being raised in McCloud with small town values and he still has family and friends there.
Over the past eighteen years Mark Hanson has entitled and/or developed 3.4 million square feet of commercial, 12,000 residential homes, $315 million in industrial acquisitions, and the acquisition, design, and construction of 4,563 acres of environmental mitigation properties.
In 2022 Mark and his wife Kathryn moved their family from California to Arrington, TN to give their kids the similar small town values Mark was raised with, and to have a positive impact on the greater Nashville region with CLQ Land’s investments.

DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
About CLQ Land
CLQ Land makes real estate investments in the Greater Nashville area through asset purchases, joint ventures, lot banking, and note purchases.
We invest in land to master plan, entitle, and deliver paper or finished lots to homebuilders, retail developers, multi-family developers, and other mixed-use components of a master-planned community. The target investment size is from $2 million to $200 million, with a target hold period of two to eight years.
Led by Mark Hanson, CLQ Land targets land investments in Middle Tennessee. It’s significant that because of CLQ’s equity partnership with JEN Partners, LLC – a New York-based private equity real estate fund focused on land — CLQ Land prides itself on having capital ready to close quickly on all transactions. Since inception, 95% of contracts executed have successfully closed.
