Our Philosophy

Gabel Investments, Inc. was founded by Gabel in May of 1984. From its inception, Gabel Investments’ focus was Investment real estate sales. Gabel’s primary emphasis was representing Banks and Savings & Loans with both branch and operating facility site selection and disposition, as well as sales of net and triple net leased properties. Gabel structured approximately 50 bank branch and operation facility sale/leasebacks for financial institutions and other publicly traded entities. From 1987 to 1990, Gabel managed the sales and marketing of a large R.E.O. portfolio for Mera Bank, which at the time was the largest publicly traded Savings and Loan in Arizona.

In 1992, Gabel expanded his firm’s capabilities by creating partnerships and acting as a principal in various C.R.E. transactions. The first partnership project was a 129 lot residential rolling option “Land Banking” transaction with publicly traded Continental Homes now DR Horton. Gabel and partners subsequently land banked 640 lots on over 160 acres, in separate subdivisions for Continental and Kaufman & Broad Homes.

Gabel and partners have also acquired, through separate partnerships, 12 commercial land parcels (4-60 acres) and 4 joint venture building developments. Those JV transactions, included two Walgreen Drug stores, one 83,000 square foot R&D industrial building and one 16,000 square foot professional office building. All partnerships/LLC entities were developed and sold profitably.

CC&G Strategic Investments, LLC
In 1998, Gabel and partners acquired 54 acres of commercial land at the NWC of Bell and Grand in Surprise, Arizona and optioned the adjacent 54 acres on the SWC. Over the subsequent 6 years, Gabel, through two separate entities, developed approximately 1 million square feet in Surprise, including two (2) Retail Power Shopping Centers and one Neighborhood Shopping Center. The first Power Center developed was Surprise Towne Center anchored by a 225,000 sq. ft. Wal-Mart Super Center and a 107,000 sq. ft. Home Depot. The second Power Center, Surprise Marketplace, was anchored by a 126,000 sq. ft. Target and a 135,000 sq. ft. Lowes Home Improvement Center. The Neighborhood Center, WestPoint Town Center, was anchored by a Sprouts Farmer’s Market and a Cobblestone Car Wash. Those projects were sold as a package in 2006 to ING Clarion Partners. Gabel and partners retained 4 ground leases which were subsequently sold in February of 2011.

Prime Land Management, LLC
In 2013, Gabel created Prime Land Management, LLC in order to acquire 40 raw farmed acres, anticipating the land to be a future commercial site in Gilbert, Arizona. The parcel is located at the NWC of Higley Road and the Loop 202 Freeway, a full diamond freeway intersection. Gabel and Prime Land are currently processing a zoning and annexation case for a master planned development including 15 acres of multifamily and 25 acres of retail, flex office and hotel development.
