Gaurav “G” Patel is a Partner at CityPlat, where he works across the full commercial real estate cycle: acquisitions, development, capital markets, and asset management. He is a 20+ year entrepreneur and operator known for disciplined underwriting, clear decision-making, and strong execution from deal sourcing through stabilization.

Before real estate, G built and scaled operating companies from the ground up, including businesses exceeding $20M in annual revenue. He has led large teams, managed full C-suite leadership, and developed systems that drive performance in dynamic environments. That operator mindset shows up in how he approaches real estate: practical strategy, tight process, and accountability from plan to outcome.

At CityPlat, G works across multiple asset classes and enjoys adaptive reuse, drawing on his hospitality background to shape projects that perform financially and connect with the end user. He is a graduate of North Carolina State University with a focus in marketing and finance. He has been recognized as a Triangle Business Journal “40 Under 40” honoree and was named North Carolina Restaurant & Lodging Association “Restaurateur of the Year.” He is also a published author.

G is tactical and methodical. He orchestrates people, process, and capital with calm focus and forward momentum. He takes pride in creating win-win outcomes in every situation.
