Multifamily and
Build to Rent (BTR) Development

Insight to Value in Vibrant Communities.

Zeller’s residential platform is built on our mission to deliver insight-driven value through smart location selection, design excellence, community connection, and financial performance. We source development sites in high-barrier-to-entry submarkets that are primed for long-term growth. Our current product focus falls in two strategic categories – Multifamily Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and Build-To-Rent (BTR). These typologies capitalize on demographic trends, and leverage construction cost and entitlement opportunities to outperform comparable residential deliveries.

We collaborate with local experts to tailor each project to its setting, creating design-forward communities that emphasize the tenant experience through creation of and integration with local community amenities. As with our office assets, we leverage long-standing relationships with architects, engineers and municipalities to accelerate delivery timelines and deliver quality projects at competitive pricing.

Opportunities

Zeller targets actionable sites that align with our development criteria:

  • Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) within a 10-minute walk of mass transit
  • Locations with favorable zoning for profitable density and parking ratios
  • Municipalities with accretive TIF incentives
  • Submarkets with attainable rents and strong projected yields

Build to Rent
