The commercial real estate layer that takes public programs from an approval to an open door.
Not for lack of merit, but for lack of a viable, compliant place to operate.
The software public programs don't have — parcel-compliance mapping, build-out visualization, an applicant advisory layer, and agency dashboards. Configured to your ordinance.
Lease comps, documented permit costs, and build-out benchmarks drawn from real deals. Numbers that don't exist on CoStar or LoopNet.
We do the work alongside applicants — and, as licensed brokers, represent them at the table when a deal genuinely calls for it.
Built for public programs, government agencies, and non-profits with a site-control gap. Cannabis social equity is simply where we proved it — the hardest version of the problem.
Compliant, viable properties worth pursuing.
Buffers, zoning, and financing risk, checked first.
Drawn to pass inspection, not just to look good.
Entity, lease, and compliance that hold up.
Plans become an inspection-ready space.
The license finally becomes a business.
We meet people where they are, make the complex digestible, and improve every part — marginally — until a license becomes a business.
Twelve years in commercial real estate. Leads site selection, representation, lease restructuring, and the through-line that keeps every step aligned.
A decade-plus building GIS and real-estate technology — architecting the parcel-compliance mapping, proprietary data, and agency dashboards the platform runs on.
Program-side institutional knowledge — how agencies actually run these programs, and what their applicants need to succeed.
An architect well versed in social equity, environmental compliance, and regulatory documentation — with experience across cultivation, retail, manufacturing, and community development projects of varied scale and complexity.
30+ years across a wide range of commercial projects — turning approved plans into a finished, inspection-ready space.
Two decades with cannabis operators and city social-equity departments — and broader business matters — on entity, lease, and regulatory compliance that stands up.
Site selection, diligence, lease, and build-out — and representation at the table when a deal genuinely calls for it.
Some things are better shown than told. We'll take your team through the live platform — mapped to your ordinance, your parcels, your applicants — in a private working session.
Request a private walkthrough →Configured and deployed for your team — you keep your data. The technology stays ours, always improving.
What applicants actually pay — rent, TI, term, free rent — from real deals, not public listings.
Line-item records and $/sf models, so an applicant knows the true cost before they sign.
Lenders and financing profiles screened for the risks that can sink a lease before they surface.
The largest social-equity commercial real estate workshop library anywhere — a curriculum you can hand every applicant.
Specific figures and case studies shared directly with program partners.
A plain conversation about the problem, the platform, and why this exists — before any demo or pitch.
"They actively engaged with me to negotiate a deal for my 40,000 sq. ft. property in Downtown LA… expertly evaluated my property's suitability for licensed cannabis use and introduced prospective off-market tenants — successfully pairing me with a tenant possessing valid cannabis licenses and robust finances. When the tenant struggled financially, they proactively arranged a backup tenant to protect my income flow… commendable professionalism, dedication, and business understanding."
"Their comprehensive workshop series provided me with the knowledge and tools to make well-informed decisions… with their unique 'done with you' approach, I identified the total addressable parcel market for the properties I'm interested in. They have drawn from their vast expertise and employed state-of-the-art technology to offer practical, effective solutions… their dedication to your success is truly unparalleled."
"Many owners didn't want a tire user. Yan didn't quit — he found an industrial building below my budget, and I had to close in less than one week. He expedited the timeline, helped me get a great deal, and got it done on time."
"We've been working with Yan for four years… he is an extension of our company. Highly communicative, moves quickly, and helped us negotiate a transaction that will save us substantial rent money over the life of the lease."
"Yan took the time to understand the nuances of a medical spa business — identifying locations that were not just visually appealing, but practical and compliant with industry standards… The moment I signed the lease and received the keys to my first business location was a milestone."
"I have worked with many brokers and real estate agents for decades. Not many have integrity, morals and a heart to do this type of service — after working with Yan, I see that he does."
Move entrepreneurs from eligibility into viable commercial occupancy.
Add a CRE-readiness layer to business and capital-readiness programs.
Turn support into measurable brick-and-mortar outcomes.
Activate storefronts and fill vacant commercial space.
The hardest version — buffers, site control, and compliance. Proven here first.
Give the businesses you serve a path to a compliant location.
Whether you administer a program and need to place your clients into compliant space, or your organization itself needs a permanent facility — the gap is the same and the path is the same.
In plain terms: we get your applicants into a compliant place to operate. We map parcels for compliance, find and contact property owners directly, run diligence, negotiate the lease, coordinate design and build-out, and track permitting — all the way to an open door. The software does the analysis and the agency reporting; our team does the hands-on work alongside your applicants. It's delivered as program infrastructure and technical assistance — specific figures and pricing are shared in a working session.
We're licensed brokers, so brokerage is part of it — but a broker usually works from public listings, focuses on a single transaction, and stops at the signed lease. Equal CRE runs on proprietary parcel-compliance data rather than just listings, reaches owners off-market, and stays through diligence, design, build-out, and permitting until the space actually opens. And we serve your whole cohort — with software and reporting your agency keeps — not one deal at a time.
You keep your data. Equal CRE retains the technology — built, configured to your ordinance, and deployed for your team.
A defined cohort, a fixed term, and success criteria agreed up front — ending in a documented readiness report. Low-risk and scoped to your program.
No. Our tools are preparation and technical-assistance resources; all official compliance determinations remain with the applicable authority.
No. Twelve years of work with government agencies, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs across commercial real estate is our proving ground. Cannabis social equity is the hardest version of the site-control problem — strict buffers, contested zoning, and an applicant pool that has historically had the least access to the resources that matter. Every tool we build has been tested there. Any public program where the gap between eligibility and occupancy needs closing is in scope.
A 20-minute intro is the whole first step. We'll learn your program and show you what's possible.
