Bay Area-based development and asset management company focused on entry-level multifamily housing

About us

Riaz Capital is a real estate development and asset management company and a multifamily operator focused on entry-level housing. Our roots have been in workforce housing for over 25 years, and we have a growing portfolio of student and affordable housing assets. Our mission is to address the lack of quality, affordably-priced housing for the underserved workforce and student populations of California and the Western region. Operating in the Bay Area since 1977, our company has developed core competencies in design, development, construction management, asset management, finance, and capital markets. We currently have ~$750 million in real estate assets comprising 3,600 units under management and development. We have a strong track record of execution, having achieved a ~30% gross IRR over 16 exits. Our new Distressed Value-Add Fund, launched in February 2024, will invest in distressed value-add multifamily projects in California and the West, and aims to build on our successful value-add track record – 2.3x net Equity Multiple and 20.4% net IRR in our previous value-add fund. The fund also leverages federal and state legislation to add units (ADUs) to existing properties, improve energy efficiency, and install solar panels utilizing incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act. With our experience constructing 55 ADUs across 9 projects and installing solar panels across 25 buildings, we are well positioned to take advantage of these government programs. Our primary impact has been creating thousands of housing units priced at moderate-income rents or below in high-cost markets. We also create impact through our low carbon footprint portfolio featuring high-density design, high energy efficiency, and transit-oriented locations. Beyond the numbers, we believe communities are built through relationships and local organizations. At Riaz Capital, we support many local organizations andprovide subsidized housing to teachers and other groups in need.

    A brave girl’s wish and our commitment to community and purpose came together in this beautiful mural at ArtHaus Jack London. We’re proud to have made Maika’s dream come true while partnering with the incredibly talented artist Hueman whose work we have previously supported through the Riaz Capital Arts Program. As Maika’s mother shared in this heartfelt speech at the ArtHaus Jack London launch party, our company has always envisioned “creating a space for individuals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and families to come together, thrive, and find joy.” That’s our aim for our creative workspaces and for our smartly designed workforce housing. #ArtsProgram #SupportArt #MakeAWish #BayAreaRealEstate

    At Riaz Capital, we see opportunity where it counts - amid crises, and in buildings that are diamonds in the rough. Our value-add acquisitions have strong fundamentals, but are either financially distressed or in need of focused upgrades that drive income and investor returns. A $6.5M renovation to 220 Grand Avenue expanded the unit count from 8 to 11, resulting in 33 rentable suites. We spruced up both units and common areas while making aesthetic improvements to the exterior. Additionally, we integrated tech enhancements like smart locks and a virtual doorman. Our transformation of 220 Grand is a prime example of our value-add process in action! Looking forward, our Distressed Value-Add Fund will continue to build on our value-add experience to generate cash flow and returns for our investors.

    Looking for options for a tax-deferred 1031 exchange? 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 1: 𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲: Retain full control over a single-tenant or small multifamily building, but be prepared for active management, vacant periods, and a solid understanding of real estate and tenant laws. 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 2: 𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲: Gain potentially higher returns in good times, but carry risks related to economic fluctuations and vacancy rates (currently around 14%[1]). 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 3: 𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲: Avoid day-to-day management and diversify rental income across multiple units, leading to better risk management and lower cash flow volatility. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Why limit your returns to a single-unit or self-managed property when you can purchase a share in a larger multifamily property with a real estate specialist? Multifamily investments help you generate diversified and long-term passive income. In the current market environment, investors can also benefit from a lower entry-point price. Why you should consider a 1031 Exchange with Riaz Capital: ✅ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝: In our experience, the most successful 1031 exchanges happen when a purchase is identified prior to the sale of the previous property. Our deep market knowledge and strong relationships with debt and multifamily brokers allow us to maintain a regular roster of high-potential properties at attractive prices in high-growth urban areas. ✅ 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Our in-house experts handle all aspects of asset management, from tenant relations to maintenance, so you enjoy all the benefits of property ownership without the day-to-day hassles. ✅ 𝐀𝐝𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨: Our properties leverage California’s new ADU laws and the Inflation Reduction Act’s $500 billion+ green energy opportunity to drive more rental income and reduce costs. ✅ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝: With over 100 successful 1031 exchanges, a 2.3x Net Equity Multiple, and 20.4% Net IRR for our value-add investments[2], our results speak for themselves. If you’re looking to do a 1031 Exchange and want a more diversified income stream from a multifamily property, visit our website for more details: https://lnkd.in/g6EQmgvz [1] https://lnkd.in/gzQxeH6Y [2] Representative performance of RTS EBMF Fund I from 2016-2022 net of fees.

    Niles Station is a compelling example of our value-add strategy generating dramatic returns. In 2020, we seized the opportunity to acquire the property at an attractive per-unit price of ~$214K and implemented a value-add turnaround plan. We added 9 new units utilizing state ADU laws and are pursuing Inflation Reduction Act subsidies to reduce the cost of energy efficiency improvements and solar panel installation. These activities, coupled with aesthetic upgrades and the addition of functional amenities, have resulted in an 81% lift in profitability and a cap rate increase of 178 basis points! Our Distressed Value-Add Fund will implement similar value-add processes to turn around distressed assets acquired at low cost.
