A Family-Owned Developer Balancing Growth, Control, and Long-Term Value
King Energy partnered with Gambril Development, a family-owned and operated real estate company headquartered in Pismo Beach, California, to support a hands-on ownership model with a long-term view. With in-house construction, ownership, and property management capabilities, Gambril prioritizes practical investments that strengthen assets and tenant relationships. Rising energy costs and growing sustainability expectations created an opportunity to add value, provided the solution aligned with disciplined capital management and operational simplicity.
With installations spanning three prime California locations (Los Osos, Arroyo Grande, and Pismo Beach), this initiative reflects a commitment not only to operational efficiency but also to environmental responsibility.
A Solar Partnership Built for Owner-Operators Who Think Long Term
King Energy delivered a turnkey solar program designed to integrate seamlessly into Gambril’s vertically integrated operations. King Energy installs, owns, and operates the system at no cost, paying long-term rent to the property while tenants receive discounted clean energy through OneBill™. The result is new, predictable income, lower tenant energy costs, and visible ESG progress executed in a way that makes financial sense and fits a family-owned business focused on stewardship and durability.
“We’ve looked at solar in the past, and it was not financially feasible. King Energy’s program allows us to bring clean energy to our tenants at a discounted rate, while increasing our property value and creating a new revenue stream. All at no cost and with literally no hassle. It was a no brainer.”
