The motto at ZAM is simple- You can do good, have fun and make money- they are not
mutually exclusive!
The more defined motto is still simple- We are a
real estate development firm that seeks to obtain the utmost value from mixed-use
projects in the right locations which respect a community's form and character,
which offer opportunities for local economic development,
which embrace environmental responsibility and energy productivity,
which incorporate design that prioritizes the human experience, which accommodate
changing
land uses over time, and which build social capital.
ZAM is managed as one firm, located in Bluffton , SC. Communication and collaboration
are priorities in and amongst all portfolio companies.
ZAM has considerable expertise in the evaluation and oversight of
real estate companies and investments nationwide through all economic
and market cycles. ZAM currently is invested in companies (i.e., 4E Group,
LLC, Winding River Realty – Utah, LLC, Zinn Realty Corporation, and Zinn Ventures,
LLC) currently operating in five states.
ZAM's proven operational experience and successes span the gamut
from startup companies with no or virtually no
assets and overhead to a $200 million (i.e., in 1986 dollars which is equivalent
to $400+ million in 2009 dollars) company with $3.5 million (i.e., in 1986 dollars
which is equivalent to $7+ million in 2009 dollars) of base corporate overhead alone.
In all cases, ZAM works closely on the particular needs, opportunities and/or challenges
of the company.
Generally, Zinn Asset Management makes equity investments
for long-term appreciation, normally either through 50/50 ownership of the operating
company or a strategic minority position. As a managing partner of the companies,
ZAM makes its money just as its investors do, through the increased value over time
in its investments. A significant portion of the personal assets of the ZAM
principals is committed to these investments, and thus they share the risks of ownership.
