We Help Cannabis Entrepreneurs Secure the Right Location.
Navigating cannabis real estate requires specialized expertise. The average operator spends 6-12 months searching for compliant locations, often missing optimal opportunities.
With deep roots in Minnesota’s cannabis community and 20+ years of real estate experience, we provide the market intelligence, regulatory knowledge, and strategic partnerships needed to secure your ideal location efficiently.
Why Most Cannabis Operators Fail at Real Estate
It’s not the business plan. It’s not the product. It’s the location.
❌ They wait too long
Perfect spaces get snatched up in days. By the time you “think about it,” someone else signed the lease.
❌ They don’t know the regulations
Zoning laws, compliance requirements, OCM restrictions—one mistake costs you months and thousands in delays.
❌ They overpay
Without market insights and negotiation leverage, landlords take advantage. You need someone fighting for YOUR numbers.
Here’s What We Do Instead:
We lock in cannabis-friendly locations FAST, negotiate, and make sure every detail is compliant before you sign anything. That’s why our clients open on time, on budget, and without legal nightmares.
