California Market Overview
California has the largest state economy in the U.S. and would rank as the fifth-largest economy globally. The state's diverse markets range from Silicon Valley tech campuses to Inland Empire logistics hubs and Los Angeles entertainment properties.
Proposition 13 limits property tax reassessment to the purchase price plus a maximum 2% annual increase, creating significant tax advantages for long-term commercial property holders but higher effective rates for new buyers. California's stringent environmental regulations, including CEQA review requirements, can add 12 to 24 months to commercial development timelines. Recent changes to local zoning laws and the state's push to address housing shortages have created new mixed-use development opportunities, particularly near transit corridors in major metros.
