About
Experience Across the Real Estate Lifecycle.
Carrillo Group CGX brings together experience across real estate finance, investment, brokerage, housing, development, and ownership.
We approach real estate from multiple perspectives because we have worked across multiple sides of the business - from institutional capital and transactions to property-level execution and development.
Today, CGX applies that experience through three integrated capabilities: investing in real estate for our own account and with partners, developing opportunities from concept through execution, and advising clients on important real estate decisions.
Who We Are
Institutional Experience. Entrepreneurial Execution.
"We See What Real Estate Can Become."
CGX combines the analytical discipline of institutional real estate with the flexibility and hands-on approach of an entrepreneurial firm.
Value is not created in spreadsheets alone. It is created through finding the right opportunity, structuring the right transaction, navigating entitlement, assembling capital, solving development challenges, and executing when others cannot or will not.

Our Perspective
A Broader Perspective on Real Estate.
CGX evaluates real estate beyond what an asset represents today. We consider the economics, land use, market, capital structure, development potential, and broader context that determine what it could become.
That perspective allows us to see opportunities across the lifecycle of an asset - and determine whether the right strategy is to acquire, entitle, develop, reposition, partner, advise, hold, or exit.
Development with Purpose
Development with Purpose.
CGX serves as developer for The LaunchPad Collective, Inc., an independent nonprofit creating mixed-use communities that integrate attainable housing, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and economic mobility.
LaunchPad represents one expression of CGX's belief that disciplined real estate development can create both economic value and meaningful community impact.
