About Richard Peery

Early Silicon Valley property baron Richard "Dick" Peery partnered with John Arrillaga, buying farmland in the 1960s and turning it into office parks.

Peery's longtime business partner since the 1960s, Arrillaga died in early 2022.

In 2006 Peery and Arrillaga sold many of their buildings for $1.1 billion.

Peery, who dropped out of the Stanford MBA program, had gained early experience managing his father's small property portfolio.

His son Dave runs the Peery Foundation, whose grantees include both Bay Area and international nonprofit groups.
