Entering the real estate field in 1963, Mr. Kotin has held key positions with several major real estate consulting and strategic planning firms before founding Kotin, Regan & Mouchly, Inc., in 1980. This firm was subsequently reconstituted as Sedway Kotin Mouchly Group, KMG Consulting, and PCR Kotin prior to the formation of the present firm in 2001.

Within this area, Mr. Kotin has developed particular expertise in participatory ground leasing, a topic on which he has lectured before several national associations of government officials. He has been a key member of lease negotiating teams on several of the largest ground lease transactions in Southern California, including Marina City Club at Marina del Rey, Hollywood Highland in Hollywood, Paseo Nuevo Shopping Center in Santa Barbara, and Monterey Marketplace in Rancho Mirage.
