MISSION
ABOUT
CLQ LAND
CLQ Land makes land investments in the Greater Nashville area and CA for communities and environmental mitigation through asset purchases, joint ventures, and note purchases.
We invest in land to master plan, entitle, and deliver lots to homebuilders, retail, multi-family, and other land uses. When land is not suitable for development, CLQ Land pivots to designing, and constructing habitat restoration for the preservation of endangered species and waters of the U.S. and State.
CLQ Land’s partnership with Columnar Investments allows CLQ Land to close on projects quickly. The target investment size is from $5 million to $50 million, with an objective hold period of two to three years.

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 18 years, Mark Hanson has entitled and developed 3.4 million square feet of commercial, 12,000 residential homes, $305 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 three 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.
