Family-Owned Commercial Real Estate

The real estate your family owns deserves more than a transaction.

Glenn and Miles Arnold advise San Diego families whose commercial real estate is tied to their business, their legacy, and their net worth. We help you see the full map of your options before decisions are made under pressure.

Why This Matters

For most business families, the real estate is the single largest asset they will ever sell.

Yet for too many, the decisions about that real estate are made after the business is already sold, under pressure, with most of the strategic options already off the table.

Hold or sell. Sale-leaseback. 1031 exchange. Charitable strategies. Order of sale. Cap rate drivers. Vacant value versus leased investment. Every one of these decisions is meaningfully better when it has two to three years of runway.

We built this practice to give families and their advisors that runway, and to bring strategic and financial analysis to decisions that are too often treated transactionally.

What We Do

Process-oriented advisory for families who own commercial real estate.

We come in before the decision, at the two-to-three-year horizon where planning actually changes outcomes.

Strategic Advisory

Plan first.

Hold vs. sell analysis, decision mapping, highest-and-best-use studies, and two-to-three-year planning horizons. We map the options before any transaction begins.

Valuation

Know your number.

Detailed Broker Opinions of Value that go beyond a simple appraisal: cap rate drivers, vacant vs. leased scenarios, lease structure analysis, and tax-impact modeling.

Transactions

Execute, when ready.

Sale, lease, sale-leaseback, and 1031 execution. Because we plan first, our transactions are better prepared and better priced.

Education

Learn before deciding.

Our monthly Learning Series for owners and advisors, plus private sessions for CPA firms, law firms, banks, and wealth management offices.
