July 14, 2025
Los Angeles, CA – Crest Real Estate, Southern California’s premier land-use advisory and permit-expediting firm, today announced the launch of its operations in Miami through a strategic joint venture with Concord Wilshire, forming Concord Crest Real Estate (CCRE).

Uniting Two Industry Leaders
Crest Real Estate
Based in Los Angeles, has earned a reputation as the top entitlement and permit-expediting firm in the Greater Los Angeles region, having successfully served over $10 billion in development value and collaborated with world-class architects and designers.
Concord Wilshire
Headquartered in Miami with additional offices in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Atlanta, boasts a 30+ year legacy in South Florida real estate. With over $12 billion in developed and acquired assets, its portfolio spans residential, resort, and mixed-use sectors.
Together, the firms leverage more than 50 years of combined experience in real estate development, construction, permits, and entitlement expediting.
Quotes from Leadership
“This expansion into South Florida is a natural evolution of our mission: to empower great design with precise execution, and to provide best‑in‑class support for property owners, developers, architects, and consultants navigating increasingly complex entitlement and permitting landscapes. We are hiring full‑time employees to meet current demand as we scale up,” said Jason Somers, President of Crest and Co‑Founder of CCRE.
“I am excited to combine our resources, network, capabilities and expertise in partnership with Crest to establish the premier land‑use advisory and permit‑expediting firm in South Florida,” added Nate Sirang, President of Concord Wilshire and Co‑Founder of CCRE.
Their shared vision is reinforced by CEO Steven Somers, who reaffirmed, “For over a decade, we’ve built a reputation by helping bring some of the world’s most ambitious architectural visions to life—delivering real results through creative, efficient and deeply collaborative work”.
Comprehensive Service Offerings
CCRE offers a robust portfolio of fee-based services across critical phases of development:
- Due diligence, land‑use and code analysis
- Permit and entitlement expediting
- Community outreach, public hearings, lobbying, and government relations
- Collaborative project planning with architects and engineers
- Cost‑optimization through strategic consultant selection
- Streamlined execution to reduce timelines and budget
“If you’re just looking for a permit expediter to act as a paper‐shuffler or courier, we’re not the shop for you… We prepare accurate and reliable due‑diligence reports, analyze codes and legislation to enhance your project’s value… These strategic services don’t just save you time — they save you real money,” emphasized Sirang.
