Glenn Rodgers

Founder & Principal, Frontside Construction

From building skateboard ramps as a kid to leading complex, multi‑million‑dollar residential and mixed‑use developments across the San Francisco Bay Area, Glenn Rodgers has always approached construction through the lens of movement, precision, and design.

With over two decades of experience, Glenn is a seasoned general contractor and project leader recognized for his architectural fluency, calm problem‑solving, and deeply collaborative approach. His background spans luxury single‑family homes, large‑scale multifamily housing, and public and institutional projects. Notable work includes involvement in the award‑winning 156‑unit El Cerrito Transit Village and key community‑facing projects at UCSF Mission Bay.

Before founding Frontside Construction, Glenn built and managed teams of more than 100 professionals, gaining extensive experience across residential, commercial, and mixed‑use construction, as well as navigating complex Bay Area permitting and entitlement processes. This depth of leadership and operational rigor allows him to guide projects with clarity, confidence, and consistency.

Glenn founded Frontside Construction with a clear vision: to create a construction practice that seamlessly integrates hands‑on building expertise with design intelligence—where communication is transparent, the process is well‑managed, and client relationships are treated with the same care as the work itself.

Influenced by his lifelong background in skateboarding, Glenn brings an intuitive understanding of flow, balance, and timing to every project. That sensibility shows up in how Frontside plans, coordinates, and builds—ensuring projects move smoothly from pre‑construction through final walkthrough, without unnecessary friction.

When he’s not on site, Glenn finds inspiration exploring the Bay Area’s evolving neighborhoods on urban hikes with his wife, Paula—experiencing the architecture, streetscapes, and rhythm of the region he’s proud to call home.
