Hospitality assets and multifamily portfolios
I bring sharp negotiation, a nationwide investor network, and a hands-on approach to every transaction — from initial valuation through due diligence to closing.

Services Provided
At Royal Empire Realty, we specialize in the sale, lease, and repositioning of commercial and investment real estate across the U.S. Our core focus includes:
Retail & Mall Redevelopment – We represent underperforming malls, shopping centers, and value-add retail assets, helping buyers reposition them through leasing, tenant reconfiguration, or redevelopment, colocation.
Hospitality & Mixed-Use – We work with boutique hotel owners, flagged hospitality groups, and developers to market or acquire operating hotels and shovel-ready hospitality projects nationwide.
Multifamily & Residential Development – From stabilized apartment buildings to entitled land for townhomes or PUDs (Planned Unit Developments), we help clients evaluate, market, and acquire income-generating or ground-up opportunities.
Industrial & Digital Infrastructure – Power-ready shells in existing structures ideal for data centers, GPU clusters, AI training environments, and edge colocation. From small-bay flex industrial to large-scale logistics sites, we work with owner-users and investors to acquire, reposition, or divest high-demand digital infrastructure assets with scalable power, connectivity, and zoning paths.
Business Sales – We also broker operational businesses, including auto-related, service-based, and franchise models. We offer NDA-secured buyer screening, CIM preparation, and full deal management.
We proudly co-broker and welcome buyer-side agents — 50/50 splits on most listings.
