CGI Strategies was featured in Urbanize Los Angeles on August 19 2020 in “Seven-Story, 86-Unit Development Could Replace Hollywood Parking Lot” outlining CGI’s plans for the construction of a seven-story edifice featuring 86 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above a two-level, 61-car basement garage.
In exchange for the development incentives, CGI would set aside 21 apartments as deed-restricted affordable housing at the very low-income level.
CGI+, the investment and development firm founded by Gidi Cohen, has filed updated plans for a major apartment complex in central Hollywood. The project would be located at 1830 North Cahuenga Boulevard, at the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin Avenue, a prime Hollywood location a few blocks north of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The last year has not been easy for the head of a commercial real estate company. Inflation and the Fed’s response, as well as trends that emerged from the pandemic, have clearly had an impact on the industry across all of the sectors. Besides the effect of, say, ongoing remote work on the beleaguered office asset class or the slowing pace of rent increases in multifamily, these executives have also had to navigate an increasingly difficult capital markets environment. I have some bad news for this group: the near-term future doesn’t look any easier. Enter our selection of Best Bosses this year. This year’s picks were made at least in part based on their resiliency and ability to position their companies for future growth, whenever that might occur. We are confident these strengths will see them through what could be choppy waters ahead.
