CJ Gassam
Project Manager & Design Associate
After earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Architecture from Tulane University, CJ relocated to Colorado where he immediately began working in the medical marijuana industry. During his time in the industry, he has become a co-owner in multiple commercially licensed medical marijuana and industrial hemp businesses. Applying his knowledge of cannabis organizations and facility planning, CJ is adept in the creation of cannabis operations plans, standard operating procedures, and cannabis facility designs to optimize consistency, productivity, and product yields. CJ has since relocated to New Orleans where he works in real estate development as he prepares to earn his professional architecture licensure and continues to advise clients in the creation of their cannabis businesses.
Eddie Murray
Director, Acquisitions & Business Development
A Yonkers native and resident, Eddie started his ten-year real estate career while at Tulane University when he joined his professor & mentor’s land use legal consulting firm, Sherman Strategies LLC. There he acquired the skills of budget development, memo drafting, and community outreach — which ultimately became integral to him becoming an effective liaison that operated at the intersection of government, community relations, real estate, and law.
Soon thereafter, Eddie joined the venerable Wisznia Architecture & Development firm where he worked in tandem with the team of in-house architects to successfully develop highest and best use assets. At Wisznia, Eddie honed his skills in acquisitions, asset management, underwriting, securing tax credits, as well as conducting market and site feasibility studies. As an analyst at Wisznia, Eddie played a major role in securing $115M in funding. Eddie enjoys playing tennis (4.0 USTA ranking), basketball, and traveling abroad. Eddie also serves as an active member of his community through his role on the Yonkers Planning Board.
