Real Estate & Land Use

California Strategies’ real estate and land use experience is substantial. We have secured entitlements and permits in nearly every market in California with specialized expertise on coastal entitlements before the California Coastal Commission (CCC).

We commonly develop detailed project entitlement strategies that integrate our technical knowledge and expertise with our policy and political experience that produce successful outcomes for our clients. We have worked on large master plans, infill development, brownfields, affordable housing, hotels, and a broad range of commercial and retail projects.

We work closely with project managers, investors, and the range of technical and legal consultants often involved in project entitlement to develop problem-solving approaches that move projects along.

Our team’s experience and up-to-the-minute understanding of CEQA and permitting helps us provide our clients increased certainty in the traditionally complex and time-consuming development environment in California.
