James Gaulin has joined Richmond American Homes in Tucson as Director of Land Acquisition and Development. Gaulin replaces Michael Del Castillo who was promoted to Richmond American’s Seattle office, where Del Castillo grew up and still has family.
Gaulin is well-known and respected in the industry and came to Richmond American’s Tucson branch from Denver, where he was working with Lennar Homes in land development.
Gaulin’s extensive experience in land acquisition and planning began with Meritage Homes in Tucson and continued at Forest City Land Group from 2006-2012. During that time he managed all aspects of acquisition, entitlement, planning, development and construction for several master-planned communities in Arizona and Washington.
Prior to that, Gaulin was with Rick Engineering in Tucson where he worked as a Civil Engineering Designer, assisting subdivision and commercial planners with architectural designs, working closely with municipal and utility employees to ensure project success.
Gaulin says he’s very happy to be back in Tucson and could not resist the call to return when it came to him in Denver.
