Description


Our Company  
Riaz Capital is a fully integrated development, construction and property management company, focused on addressing the changing housing needs of the millennial generation. With a unique appreciation for design and architecture, we find properties in desirable locations and rehabilitate existing buildings as well as develop new properties to create stylish, desirable homes that meet the needs of today’s Bay Area workforce, while bringing value to the communities around them. Our integrated group of companies across development, construction, and property management delivers efficiency and long-term thinking to all of our projects while allowing us to create above-market returns for our investors.
The Riaz Capital team includes over 95 talented real estate investment, construction and operations professionals across its offices in San Francisco and Oakland.  Our Principals have been successfully operating in the Bay Area since 1977.  The Company currently owns and operates ~1,100 units, with $300 Million of assets under management (AUM). Riaz Capital has maintained consistent growth over the last 5+ years, and after the completion of three development projects currently in process, that number will increase to ~1,400 units with ~$400 Million AUM by end of 2019.
Our latest projects are aimed at creating affordable and conveniently located housing for young professionals in the East Bay through ground up development projects. The Bay Area's tremendous growth has resulted in skyrocketing housing costs forcing young professionals to make hard choices about privacy and savings to find a reasonable housing option to call home. On average, Bay Area millennials are spending 48% of their income on housing verses a national average of 25%.   As a result, Riaz Capital has launched new projects that are “Affordable by Design” - ABD, focused on helping this new ambitious middle class attain homes that are comfortable, cool and work with their financial goals.  We raised a $35M fund in 2018, which we are pairing with a much larger fund (well over 9 Digits), to implement the ABD concept throughout the East Bay, with a goal of creating a fund with over $1B in assets under management by 2025.  We are seeking highly motivated, forward thinking professionals to join our team in solving this important housing problem.
