Savills : California Casualty Reaffirms Its Commitment to San Mateo

After 47 years at the same address, California Casualty announces it is moving its home office within two miles of its current location. The family-owned auto and home insurer will be relocating its headquarters from 1900 Alameda de las Pulgas to the Crossroads II at 1875 S. Grant Street.

The relocation has been guided by Luke Raimondo and Matt Chatham of commercial real estate advisory firm Savills Studley.

California Casualty's CEO, Beau Brown, says employees played a significant role in selecting the new site. 'California Casualty has many long term employees in our office with 25 or more years with the company, so staying in San Mateo was very important to our management team. We relayed that to Savills Studley, and we were very pleased that they found several great San Mateo alternatives. A committee of employees told us they liked Crossroads II the best. We are all very excited for the move.'

The new location provides better use of the space for 110 employees at the company's headquarters. After the completion of a 31,000 square foot buildout, the home office will be housed on the 8 floor and 10 floor in a more modern, efficient workplace.

The move will take place over the 2018 Memorial Day Weekend.

Founded in 1914 in San Francisco, California Casualty Management Company enjoys a very rare status: it is a fourth generation, 104 year-old, family-owned company. The Family Business Institute estimates that only 30 percent of family held businesses survive to the second generation, and only 3 percent are viable to the fourth generation.

In 1951, California Casualty pioneered the group auto insurance concept and now provides auto and home insurance to educators, law enforcement, firefighters and health care professionals in 44 states, and has three service centers located in Leawood, Kansas; Glendale, Arizona; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company employs 700 people.
