At Zeller, we believe that true success comes not just from what we build—but how we give back. Our culture is built on a strong foundation of community engagement, social impact, and people-first values.  Every Zeller employee receives eight hours of paid volunteer time each year, and we encourage service at all levels of the company. From packaging food at the Greater Chicago Food Depository, to walking in the American Heart Association Heart Walk, to tutoring underserved youth and supporting animal rescue centers—our teams are actively involved in meaningful causes across the country. Many of our properties also host tenant-focused initiatives like blood drives, donation campaigns, and wellness events that foster connection and giving.

Diversity and Inclusion is a key element in the blueprint of Zeller’s culture. Empowering our employees to perform their best while being themselves is fundamental to our success.  Zeller is committed to fostering and preserving a culture of including and helping build communities that protect, serve and support all citizens equally.  We focus on key areas such as education and awareness, career elevation, strengthening communities, CRE industry outreach and enriching the Zeller experience.

To nurture internal growth, we formed the Emerging Leaders Committee (EL)—a platform to elevate Zeller’s young professionals through education, mentorship, cross-departmental connection, and company culture initiatives. By investing in our people, we ensure that the future of Zeller is shaped by bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and empowered leadership.

We’re proud of the spaces we create—but even more proud of the impact our people make within them. At Zeller, giving back isn’t a program—it’s a way of life.
