GRAY Real Estate Advisors provides development and asset strategies services with the aim of optimizing value through creative analysis, public representation and forward-thinking project positioning.

We pursue specialized entitlement assignments such as overseeing CEQA compliance, obtaining development permits, and multi-agency interface. We frequently represent owners before public bodies such as design review boards, planning commissions and many others. This sometimes involves acting as expert witness for zoning related litigation.

Our in depth understanding of what adds value from an owner's perspective allows us to become a valued member of appraisal and legal teams during lease negotiations, due diligence, and property tax assessment.

Real estate consulting services include highest and best use analysis, property research, fit studies, physical due diligence, cost estimating, marketing and positioning strategies, and development team oversight. With great relationships in the preservation community we are able to navigate processes throughout the life of a significant or landmarked property.

Representative advisory clients include Cushman & Wakefield, Grubb and Ellis Landauer, Navigant, Overland Pacific & Cutler, Hill Farrer & Burrill LLP and Cohen & Lord LLP. Owners include Wells Fargo, US Bank, LA Times, CW Capital, Hollywood Athletic Club, Crown Real Estate, Monarch Group, The Colburn School and Ocean West Capital.
