Ziff Real Estate Partners

Ziff Real Estate Partners is a U.S. commercial real estate investment and operating firm that acquires, manages, redevelops, and operates a diversified portfolio of neighborhood retail, self-storage, office, and industrial properties across the United States. Established in 1991, the firm emphasizes a value-add, vertically integrated investment strategy, leveraging in-house leasing, property management, construction, and asset management teams to maximize property performance and tenant outcomes.

The company’s investment approach centers on sourcing undermanaged or underperforming assets in markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals, implementing targeted capital improvements, leasing strategies, and operational enhancements to increase occupancy, net operating income (NOI), and long-term asset valuation. Ziff targets real estate sectors that can benefit from active management and redevelopment, including grocery anchored and unanchored retail centers, self-storage conversions and expansions, and flex industrial properties.

Ziff’s leadership team, led by co-founders Stephen Ziff and Tim Walter, draws on decades of real estate investment experience, guiding the firm through multiple market cycles with a disciplined underwriting process and vertically integrated execution model. While its public materials highlight historical success and portfolio diversity, detailed aggregated performance metrics and audited return figures are not fully disclosed on the public site.
