Grossman Company Properties

What Grossman Company Properties does

Grossman Company Properties (GCP) is a privately held, multi-generational real estate development, investment, and management company founded in 1962 by Sam Grossman and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The firm owns and has developed more than 20 million square feet of real estate across shopping centers, resorts, residential communities, and commercial arenas, operating four product lines: (1) Hotels & Resorts under the Marc & Rose Hospitality / Classic Hotels & Resorts brand, including trophy assets such as Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa, La Playa Hotel in Carmel, and Palihouse Santa Monica; (2) Office & Retail commercial properties; (3) Residential, Multi-Family & Land, including award-winning master-planned community Hidden Springs; and (4) GCP Capital Partners, a $500 million asset-value fund providing mezzanine and participating preferred equity loans to hotel, office, and apartment owners in the Western United States.

GCP's business model is principally that of a long-term principal and operator rather than a transactional flipper, with revenue generated from property appreciation, rental income, hospitality operations across the Marc & Rose portfolio, development fees on third-party or joint-venture projects, and interest/fees on loans originated through GCP Capital Partners. Acquisitions are sourced through direct relationship-based outreach to institutional investors, family offices, and property owners in the Western U.S. / Mountain West, with published deal-size criteria of $10 million to $350 million funneled to the Chief Investment Officer. The firm markets through industry-organization networks (ULI, NAIOP, ICSC, YPO, WPO) and an advisory board rather than through traditional sales channels; pricing is custom to each transaction and not publicly disclosed.

The platform is vertically integrated across acquisition, finance, construction, asset management, and hospitality operations, with a senior executive team recruited from Eastdil Secured, Cityline Partners / DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners, The Mills Corporation, Marriott International, Ritz-Carlton, Hilton, and Citicorp Investment Bank. Ownership remains family-controlled: founder Sam Grossman passed away in 2024 and his son Jim Grossman (developer of Hidden Springs) in 2022, with John Grossman continuing as CEO, second generation Mark Dymek as CIO, and the broader executive team providing institutional continuity. The company has no external parent or disclosed private equity backing.
