"The 'strategies and guidelines for developing communities of the 21st century' come from Newport Beach, Calif.-based consultant John T. Martin, an industry development and marketing expert who is guiding Centennial's development team. A joint venture of Pardee Homes, Lewis Investment Corp. and Standard Pacific Corp., Centennial Founders LLC expects to launch a 25-year build-out in 2006. For now, the job of planning each part of the massive master plan is the responsibility of Randy Jackson, president of The Planning Center in Costa Mesa, Calif. He and Martin provided the details of how each 'strategy and guideline' is planned for in Centennial."
