Gilroy, California
Who owns Gilroy, the garlic town at the south end of Santa Clara County: the public record gives parcel outlines and addresses but not owners' names, so ownership here comes from filings, public agencies and dated reporting.

Can you find out who owns it?
California has no public register of title. Santa Clara County's Assessor values every Gilroy parcel under Proposition 13 and the Clerk-Recorder holds the deeds, but neither publishes owners' names as open data, and both County sites refused our automated requests. The County's own parcel map service is open and lists 15,295 Gilroy parcels with their numbers and street addresses, but no owner or value. A deed copy is bought from the Recorder, one document at a time.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

| Saint Louise Regional Hospital 9400 No Name Uno |
Institutional | County of Santa Clara The State's licensed-facility list (data date 16 Oct 2026) shows St. Louise Regional Hospital, a general acute care hospital of 72 beds plus a 21-bed distinct-part skilled nursing unit, licensed to 'COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA' (entity type County), first licensed 1 May 1980. Gilroy Dispatch (1 Mar 2024) reports the County 'assumed control of all three medical facilities on March 1, 2019, at the cost of $235 million'; the hospital opened in 1989 and is South County's only acute care hospital. It is now part of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare. Price from s4. |

| Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park (536-acre site) 3050 Hecker Pass Hwy |
Land | City of Gilroy Gilroy Dispatch (15 May 2024): the City halted negotiations with a party interested in buying 'the city's 536-acre property that includes Gilroy Gardens'; in February 2024 officials were 'considering a sale or long-term lease'. The theme park 'occupies only a small portion of the property owned by the city'. A 2011 Dispatch report says the City owns the land and the park's assets, which are operated by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a volunteer board; Cedar Fair then managed the park. |

| Gavilan College, main campus 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd about 147 acres (roughly 86 usable) |
Institutional | Gavilan Joint Community College District The District's Facilities Master Plan (Vision 2030, August 2018) says the main campus in Gilroy 'is listed as consisting of 147 acres; however, many acres are not buildable': a 19-acre golf course, a 42-acre watershed and hillside preservation area, and land in the Santa Clara Fault Rupture Hazard Zone leave 'roughly 86 usable acres'. The same plan says the College owns 80 acres of undeveloped land at the edge of Hollister (78 acres elsewhere in the plan) and a 55-acre Coyote Valley site. The address is the College's own campus address. |

| Gilroy City Hall and Civic Center 7351 Rosanna St (Civic Center bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Church and Dowdy streets) |
Civic | City of Gilroy Gilroy Dispatch (7 Oct 2026): on 5 Oct 2026 the City Council approved a Civic Center Master Plan to demolish the current City Hall and City Hall Annex and replace them with a 47,500 sq ft two-story City Hall, demolish Wheeler Auditorium for a 42,600 sq ft recreation and swim center, and add a 41,600 sq ft Multi-Generational Community Center; built today the plan would cost about $230 million, per city staff. The article describes the City planning its own buildings but does not use the word 'owns'. Separately, the 8,000 sq ft Old City Hall downtown is leased out by the City to restaurant operators (Dispatch, 19 Oct 2012, s9). |

| Onion and garlic processing plant (Olam / ofi) Pacheco Pass Hwy nearly 922,000 sq ft |
Industrial | Not established the source would not open Gilroy Dispatch (16 Jan 2020) reported Olam International sold the real estate of its Gilroy onion and garlic plant to Mesirow Financial for $110.3 million, with a 25-year lease back and revenue-sharing deal; about 500 people work there. On 15 Jul 2020 the Dispatch reported the deal was terminated because Mesirow could not raise the financing, and Olam was 'in the process of identifying new investors'. No source opened says whether, or to whom, the real estate was later sold, so the current owner is left blank. Termination: s14. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Santa Clara County values every Gilroy parcel under Proposition 13, so a long-held parcel is carried far below its market price. The Assessor's values and the County roll are not open to us (Cloudflare blocks the Assessor and Tax Collector sites), so no top parcel or city-wide assessed total could be read. These are the closest figures the public record gives.

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Gilroy's large holdings that a public source puts on record are mostly public: the City (the 536-acre Gilroy Gardens property and the Civic Center), the community college district (147 acres on Santa Teresa Boulevard) and, since 2019, the County through Saint Louise hospital. The biggest private land story is Glen Loma Ranch, a 309-acre master-planned district held for generations by one local family through its development company. Farmland around the city is real but its owners are not on any open register: the County's open parcel map carries no owner names.

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
New housing in Gilroy comes in a few large master-planned tracts, built by national builders on land assembled by local landholders, and the pace is uneven. The Census Bureau's permit survey counts 248 units authorised in 2021 (99 single-family, 149 in buildings of five or more), 219 in 2022, 133 in 2023, 153 in 2024 and only 12 single-family in 2025, all as reported for 12 months. The 2023-2031 Housing Element, certified by the State on 21 Aug 2023, plans for at least 1,773 units; two builder's-remedy applications were filed, for 113 single-family homes on Hecker Pass Road and 504 apartments at 315 Las Animas Ave (developers not named; s20, s21).
| Name | Type | Homes (as stated) |

| Glen Loma Corporation Master developer of Glen Loma Ranch under a 2005 development agreement with the City (s18); 1,643 homes at full build-out per the 2016 report (s15), 'more than 1,200 residential units' per the 2024 report. A local, family-held company; it sells finished lots and neighbourhoods to national builders. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Gilroy's commercial stock is retail along US-101 and industrial and food-processing plants on the east side. No REIT apart from Simon reports a Gilroy property in its 10-K: the FY2025 annual reports of Kimco, Regency, Brixmor, Realty Income, Prologis, EastGroup, Terreno, Public Storage, Extra Space, Essex, AvalonBay and Alexandria were searched and none names Gilroy. The landlords below are those a filing or dated report establishes; floor area is as the source states it.

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- Gilroy Crossing: a 2006 GlobeSt.com report, seen only in search results because globest.com refused robots.txt, says a San Jose investor's LLC bought 325,431 sq ft of the 480,000 sq ft centre for $86 million. Not opened, so no owner or price is recorded, and no later sale was established.
- Olam / ofi garlic and onion plant on Pacheco Pass Highway: a CoStar headline seen in search ('Onion, garlic investment cooks up 88% return on property sale') suggests a later sale of the real estate; CoStar was not opened, so the current owner is blank.
- Gilroy Unified School District holdings (school sites, a donated 10-acre site off Santa Teresa Boulevard and Day Road reported in a Dispatch obituary seen only in search), Valley Water creek and reservoir land, Union Pacific's rail line and the Gilroy Caltrain station land, Caltrans and the California High-Speed Rail Authority's planned station: no source opened states their acreage or parcel counts in Gilroy.
- City of Gilroy's full real-property inventory and principal-taxpayer table (ACFR): cityofgilroy.org disallows ClaudeBot in robots.txt, so not read.
- Largest apartment owners and single-family-rental holders in Gilroy: none established; no REIT 10-K searched lists a Gilroy apartment community.
- Saint Louise Regional Hospital: the State list names the County as licensee; the $235 million price covers three facilities and no per-hospital split was found.
