Foremost Hires Executive from SunCal

By Mark Mueller

Irvine’s Foremost Communities Inc., a housing development and investment company, has hired Michael Canfield as its senior vice president of land acquisitions.

He’ll be in charge of identifying land for development in Southern California and will be the point person coordinating acquisition strategy with Foremost’s main investment partner, an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global LLC.

The two companies are planning to buy $250 million in land for housing development in the next few years.

Canfield previously worked at Irvine-based SunCal Cos., where he led acquisitions and oversaw transactions including more than 100,000 home lots.
