In 2019, Pinedo had two notable transactions, one of which was 825 acres of land containing mineral resources. The second transaction consisted of 30 individually recorded, contiguous industrial lots within a fully developed industrial park; both in Southern California.
Recently, Juve also brokered a 1,000-acre operating hard rock quarry including real and personal property.
