Cc Realty Advisors

What Cc Realty Advisors does

CC Realty Advisors, Ltd. is a privately held commercial real estate investment and advisory firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh metro), with additional offices in Houston, Texas and Santa Barbara, California. The firm operates as a joint venture between Champion Properties, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation founded by Richard Erenberg) and Clarion Properties, Ltd. (a Texas firm founded by Douglas Engel), whose principals have been investing together since 1989. CC Realty Advisors targets investors and capital partners seeking value-add returns in U.S. commercial real estate, executing acquisitions of distressed and semi-distressed retail, office, and industrial properties in the $3M-$20M transaction-size range with target returns of 10-20% over 5-10 year hold periods. The firm has acquired over 8 million square feet of commercial property through co-investment with multiple financial partners, and its portfolio spans retail shopping centers and single-tenant net lease assets, office buildings, industrial/warehouse properties, and land development.

The firm's service stack covers the full commercial real estate lifecycle: acquisitions (rigorous due diligence including property, tenant, and market analysis), property management, financial management (rent collection, accounts payable, financial reporting, budget forecasting, year-end CAM reconciliation, marketing and leasing), construction management, and dispositions (market-analyzed exits). A team of 11-50 professionals, including dedicated property managers, a CFO, a controller, and an in-house construction management group, delivers these services through the three regional offices. Revenue is generated through professional services fees (advisory and asset management) and transaction-based fees from acquisitions and dispositions, with pricing quoted on a tailored basis per engagement. The firm has no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability; its competitive position rests on the founders' three-decade track record, embedded JV relationships, and full-stack operational execution.
