about us

Zion is a private equity real estate firm focused on an opportunistic value-add approach to under-managed and under-performing multifamily workforce assets in New York. Zion’s investment strategy delivers attractive, risk-adjusted returns for investors seeking current income, capital preservation, and the potential for significant appreciation. We are a fully integrated multifamily operator with decades of experience in one of the most management intensive operating environments.
Our main goal is to safeguard our investors’ wealth while providing them with excellent risk-adjusted returns, thereby fostering equity growth and ensuring steady monthly cash flow regardless of market fluctuations. Through collaboration with our fully integrated real estate operation, we aim to implement value-add strategies and operational enhancements within a disciplined investment framework, with a focus on generating long-term value for both our investors and the communities where we invest. It’s a comprehensive approach that seeks to balance risk and return while also considering broader societal benefits.
