DESIGNED FOR IMPACT. VISUALLY. SPATIALLY. SOCIOLOGICALLY. FINANCIALLY.

An HFZ project is never just a structure. It is the culmination of a vision. As a developer and a design connoisseur with a personal and professional connection to New York, Ziel Feldman is committed to positively evolving the culture of the city for posterity. Seeking out the most prominent architects of our time, HFZ has pushed parameters in every aspect; setting new standards in the process. With creativity and profitability working in tandem, neighborhoods form where there were none, forsaken landmarks regain their lost luster and aesthetically arresting towers rise to halo the world’s greatest city as one whose sights are firmly fixed on a radiant future. HFZ’s eclectic and distinguished portfolio is designed to be appreciated from both a creative and investment perspective. By enabling visionary design and inventive finance, HFZ has become a magnet for the world’s top design talent, and is synonymous with a growing number of firsts. The Bryant is David Chipperfield’s first ground up residential building in the United States, Thomas Juul-Hansen’s work at 505 West 19^th Street carries this same distinction. More recently, the Six Senses Hotel at The Eleventh will be this notable hospitality group’s first project in the United States. The desirable and daring momentum of each successive accomplishment infuses the city with new energy and lifts it to new heights.

RESTORING OLD LANDMARKS. CREATING NEW ONES.

Understanding that edifices exist far beyond the moment they’re created, HFZ is equally invested in the past and the future. An equal focus on construction and preservation allows the continual development of attainable luxury properties that carry a sense of history in a range of livable neighborhoods. While the assemblages required to bring these restorations can be complex, it is well worth it from both an aesthetic and investment point of view. HFZ conversions bear a strong signature: vast living spaces with modern amenities set against a backdrop of character and charm. Beyond their relative value per square foot versus new construction, when refreshed, these venerable properties have the power to become an enduring part of the community and the citizenry of the city in a whole new way.

UNRIVALED SALES AND MARKETING EXPERTISE.

HFZ’s seasoned in house sales and marketing professionals draw on a combined track record of over five decades of experience and more than $20B in sales.

A LEADER IN REAL ESTATE DEBT SPACE.

In 2017, HFZ, in partnership with Anthony Tufariello, formerly of Fortress Investment Group, and Randy Reiff, formerly of Cerberus and JP Morgan, launched Allegiant Real Estate Capital. Allegiant is a commercial real estate investment management company that originates, acquires and manages first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, B-notes, preferred equity and CMBS securities. Allegiant offers borrowers a ​“one-stop” solution with the ability to offer customized commercial real estate debt investment strategies across the entire yield and risk spectrum.

With a dedicated team of 10 investment professionals, the majority of whom have worked with Mr. Reiff for more than a decade and, collectively, have been responsible for completing more than $100 billion of commercial real estate transactions over the past two decades, Allegiant is positioned to be a leader in the real estate debt space due to its combination of vast lending and credit experience and the ability for HFZ to contribute its real estate operating expertise when evaluating opportunities throughout the capital stack.

Since inception, Allegiant originated over $1.5 billion of loans on behalf of an institutional investor.

COLLECTIVELY REHABILIATING AND RE-PURPOSING INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES.

In 2018, HFZ Capital Group partnered with Reich Brothers to form HFZ-Reich, a strategic venture to build a portfolio of industrial properties located throughout the US. The venture was seeded with an existing portfolio of properties totaling over 5 million square feet and featuring a mix of manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, and flex office space as well as significant additional land and development rights. Among the major assets in the portfolio are two noteworthy campuses based in Wisconsin: The former 1,700,000 square foot Heinz Kraft-owned Oscar Mayer plant, located in the heart of Madison and an 800,000 square foot campus in Milwaukee formerly occupied by Caterpillar Global Mining, LLC.

Reich Brothers, which initially assembled the seed portfolio, specializes in acquiring, repurposing and remediating shuttered manufacturing sites across the United States, inclusive of the machinery and equipment. Over their 25+ years in the space, the firm has completed over $500 million in transactions.

With several properties in the portfolio featuring additional land and development rights, HFZ will bring its expertise in ground up and restorative development to capitalize on mixed-use development opportunities, including potential development of retail, multifamily, hotel and office uses.

HFZ-Reich will acquire additional properties throughout the US and leverage its vertical integration to serve as a single solution to purchase facilities in as-is condition and repurposing industrial sites for future use and employment.
