Zoning & Density
Bonus Expertise

We evaluate each property’s zoning and bonus potential to determine the optimal path forward—whether that’s redevelopment, holding, or maximizing current use.

Understanding 
the Ellis Act

When evaluating existing apartment buildings, we also assess relocation liability and redevelopment restrictions due to the Ellis Act.
Request a Valuation

  • We advise on tenant relocation fees, timing, and vacancy control implications
  • We help analyze long-term investment timelines to work within Ellis Act constraints
  • For owners of older rent-controlled buildings, we evaluate whether Ellis exit or long-term hold is optimal

Improvement Value vs. Land Value

Not every development site is visibly a “tear-down.” Many retail buildings and apartment buildings have income and improvements worth analyzing.

We provide expert analysis to help owners and buyers understand:

  • If the existing improvements (leases, building quality, CAP rate) create more value than land redevelopment
  • Whether the highest and best use is in holding or redeveloping
  • How to market both existing income + future development upside to maximize buyer interest

We often:

  • Create hybrid marketing packages showing stabilized income AND future zoning potential
  • Consult on interim income strategies while entitlements are processed
  • Position properties as “Land Banking” Opportunities: long-term holds with development upside
