Building Beyond Restaurants: Transforming Communities Through Strategic Real Estate Investment

For over a decade, Chandi Hospitality Group has specialized in transforming overlooked real estate into high-performing community assets. What began with rehabilitating underperforming restaurant locations has evolved into a disciplined approach to property redevelopment, repositioning, and long-term value creation across Northern California.

Our journey includes the acquisition, redevelopment, and operation of multiple commercial assets—such as Mountain Mike’s Pizza locations in Cleveland (2013–2019), Montgomery Drive (2016–2017), Ukiah (2018), and a strategic relocation project completed between 2023–2024. Each project involved identifying latent potential, executing operational and physical upgrades, and stabilizing the asset as a neighbourhood anchor.

In Ukiah, we expanded beyond pizza into brand diversification with Cookies (2018–2022), further demonstrating our ability to adapt properties to evolving market demand. Our Chicken Guy project in American Canyon reflects our continued focus on high-growth corridors and scalable, experience-driven concepts.

Today, we apply this same hands-on, operator-led mindset to real estate development and investment, focusing on assets that serve as long-term community cornerstones

 

What We Do

We acquire, develop, and manage commercial and mixed-use properties throughout Northern California, with a focus on unlocking underutilized real estate through strategic repositioning.

  • Commercial Redevelopment
    Transforming tired retail centers and vacant properties into high-performing assets—much like our successful turnarounds of multiple Mountain Mike’s Pizza locations across Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.

  • Mixed-Use Projects
    Developing properties that blend hospitality, retail, and community-oriented uses to drive consistent foot traffic and long-term asset stability.

  • Sale-Leaseback Solutions
    Providing restaurant and retail operators with liquidity while securing prime, long-term locations—an approach informed by our own experience as owner-operators.

  • Investment Partnerships
    Collaborating with investors to identify, acquire, and develop high-opportunity properties, including redevelopment and ground-up potential in emerging markets.
