Specialized Retail & Light-Industrial Entitlement & Permitting

Private COMMERCIAL Clients

DJR Cos. has served as project manager for private clients with a multifaceted, expanding retail and light-industrial footprint that has comprised a multitude of projects throughout California.

DJR’s key differentiator as a project manager and broker in this space is the firm’s real estate development background, increasing the client’s market of possible new locations over competitors; as well as the ability to navigate an intense entitlement process for retail or manufacturing use. Our clients have thus considered and acquired sites ranging from raw land to high-rise office buildings and industrial warehouses.

Project jurisdictions have included:

  • City of San Diego (multiple)

  • City of Chula Vista

  • City of Oxnard

  • City of El Centro

  • City of Willits

  • City of San Jacinto

  • City of Encinitas

  • National City

DJR assembles and manages a team of project consultants for the business owner in need of DJR’s entitlement and permitting expertise, as the client’s specific growth needs are akin to the real estate development process. Much of DJR’s scope of work for these projects does indeed entail somewhat typical site-search/selection, design, and development, and yet much of it also requires navigating various City and local agency approval processes for discretionary permits unique to the clients’ industry.

DJR Realty, Inc. also acts as the client’s broker on real estate acquisitions where and when appropriate. The site search and development tends to be ongoing for actively expanding clients.
