Raleigh’s top hospitality entrepreneur shifts to Senior Advisor role in commercial real estate
Cary, Apr 13, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - For over a decade, Gaurav "G" Patel has been a leader in Raleigh's hospitality industry. Utilizing his deep knowledge and experience, G is embarking on a new chapter of his career: commercial real estate. Starting immediately, G will join CityPlat Commercial Real Estate as a Senior Advisor in its new Fayetteville Street location in Downtown Raleigh.
G's name is synonymous with Raleigh's hospitality industry. He is a founder of Eschelon Hospitality, launching Mura, Edwards Mill Bar & Grill, and the Haymaker, among other Triangle staples. G also served as co-founder of SOCIAL HOUSE® Vodka, North Carolina's premier craft vodka distillery. In 2015, G was recognized in the Triangle Business Journal's 40 under 40, and in 2018, he was named Restauranteur of the Year by the Restaurant and Lodging Association.
"We are extremely excited to be working with G. He has invaluable experience in the retail and hospitality sectors that simply cannot be acquired unless you go through the same entrepreneurial journey he did over the past 15 years," Nikita Zhitov, principal of CityPlat LLC commented. "Especially during the current economic climate, I do not think there is anyone in the state that is better suited to act as a real estate advisor to the hospitality industry."
G brings to the commercial real estate what no one else in this market can. As a self-made entrepreneur, G's experience with hardship has been essential in growing through challenges to come out stronger in business. While his focus will be working within the hospitality and retail sectors at CityPlat, he will be more than just a real estate advisor for many clients.
"Mindset is key in business, especially during trying times like we're facing now," G says. "I'm excited to be working with CityPlat as a new step in my career and welcome all opportunities to help others focus on their strengths and find the silver lining in their situation, like I have done many times before. I chose to partner with CityPlat for their ingenuity and ability to think outside the box in business, and I'm thankful to now have the bandwidth and team behind me to help clients understand resources, find efficiencies in operations, and proactively focus on the future."
Although born in India, G is a Raleigh native at heart, having spent more than 20 years in the area cultivating a deep understanding of the regional market landscape. He is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and mentor. G's most recent effort, #HopeForHospitality, provides daily meals for hospitality workers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
G's role as Senior Advisor for CityPlat officially begins Monday, April 13. He is in the process of completing his North Carolina Real Estate certification to continue carving his new path in the industry to best serve Raleigh's exponential growth in the years to come.

Why the 1960 film The Wild, Wild Rose is the late Grace Chang’s greatest cinematic triumph
Grace Chang, also known by her stage name Ge Lan, died in August at the age of 93. She is widely remembered today for her lively performance in Mambo Girl, the 1957 Chinese-language musical that made her a star.

Klara and the Sun review: Jenna Ortega is an android in upbeat but saccharine sci-fi fable
3/5 stars Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit (2019), brings his trademark quirk to Klara and the Sun, a sunny-side-up sci-fi fable that occasionally delivers flashes of darkness. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, the film is set in a future where AI companions are the norm. The effervescent Klara (Jenna Ortega) is one such android, albeit a discontinued B1 model now being hawked from a city discount store. Klara’s escape comes when a young girl,...

The ancient Chinese warrior queen who led huge armies to victory and stole a king’s heart
Fu Hao is one of the earliest documented female military generals in history, yet relatively little is known about her. Most of the information gathered about her life is from her tomb. One thing we do know is that she lived during the Shang dynasty (1600BC-1046BC), before the unification of China. Fu’s tomb was excavated in 1976. Its contents led archaeologists to conclude she was a high-ranking royal consort and military general who commanded some of the largest armies of her time. So, who...
