Business Case:
The Related Santa Clara project in California will provide a serene working, living, and
leisure-sensitive neighborhood with the incorporation of various sustainable, tech-enabled, and
innovative residential and commercial spaces, entertainment venues, and public spaces. Located
on a 240-acre piece of land, the Related Santa Clara overall project costs are estimated at $8
