California

Overview

California remains one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets, offering unmatched scale, complexity, and institutional depth. From core urban centers to high-growth suburban corridors, the state supports a wide spectrum of strategies—ranging from urban redevelopment and life sciences to industrial conversion and infill multifamily.

Major metros like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are global hubs for capital, while inland markets such as Sacramento, Riverside, and Fresno provide yield-oriented opportunities. California is well-suited for GP/co-GP structuring, sophisticated capital stack execution, and third-party asset management for institutional portfolios.
