For cannabis operators
Real estate advice from people who have closed through the regulator
Last updated
How does C3 CRE work with cannabis operators?
C3 CRE serves licensed cannabis operators with opted-in site acquisition, buffer-zone and zoning diligence, facility dispositions, license-plus-real-estate transactions, and cannabis-specific debt through affiliate Rair Capital, LLC.
Cannabis real estate is a regulatory problem wearing a real estate costume. Whether a municipality has opted in, how many licenses remain, how the buffer ordinance is measured, and whether the regulator's approval calendar aligns with your closing date all matter more than the price per square foot.
We start every operator engagement with an opt-in and license-availability map, then screen buildings for the things that actually constrain a grow or a store: incoming power service, HVAC and dehumidification capacity, water and floor drains, ceiling height, security envelope and truck access.
On the sell side we know the buyer pool for operating facilities, distressed grows and former cannabis buildings being returned to conventional industrial use — and through Rair Capital we can verify or supply the debt that lets those buyers close.
Opt-in and license mapping
Jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction opt-in status and remaining license capacity before you tour anything.
Buffer and zoning measurement
School, park, church and daycare buffers measured the way the ordinance measures them.
Facility suitability
Power, HVAC, water, drainage, ceiling height and security reviewed against your cultivation or retail plan.
Capital that exists
Cannabis-specific debt through Rair Capital, LLC — and buyer capital verified before diligence begins.
Practices
The services that apply
Cannabis acquisitions & dispositions
Licensed cannabis cultivation, processing and retail real estate — municipal opt-in analysis, buffer-zone diligence, license-and-real-estate combination sales, and buyers who can actually close.
Site selection
Data-led site selection for operators and franchisees — drive-time and demographic screening, zoning and use verification, and multi-site rollout sequencing.
Receivership & distressed
Court-appointed receivership support, lender REO disposition and distressed asset sales — stabilize, document, then sell.
Sale-leaseback
Convert owner-occupied real estate into working capital while keeping operational control — lease structuring that survives investor underwriting.
