Mixed-Use Real Estate
Where retail income meets residential durability.
Mixed-use properties combine two income streams under one roof — and concentrate exposure to two asset classes. We underwrite both, separately and together, to build a complete picture of risk-adjusted return across every vibrant corridor in Southern California.
What We Do
A deliberate, investor-grade engagement.
Dual Underwriting
Retail and residential components modeled independently, then combined into a unified investment thesis.
Corridor Selection
Melrose, Abbot Kinney, Sunset Junction, DTLA Arts District, North Park, Santa Ana — the corridors that command rent premium.
Tenant Curation
Retail tenancy that complements residential demand — and survives downturns.
Repositioning
Vacant retail repositioned into in-demand uses; residential renovated to capture market rent.
Our Process
From first conversation to closing.
01
Thesis
Define corridor, mix, and target return profile.
02
Sourcing
Off-market, pre-foreclosure, and quiet listings prioritized.
03
Modeling
Retail and residential proformas, combined exit.
04
Close & Operate
Acquisition through hold-period strategy oversight.
Why CLI
Investment-first. Discreet. Decades-deep.
Mixed-use is misunderstood by most agents and most investors. We treat it as the complex, two-asset investment it actually is — and price it accordingly.
