Auto-ApplyJr. Staff Accountant
Oakland, CA job
About Us
Riaz Capital is a Bay Area-based real estate developer and asset manager with 3,700 units under management and development across California. The firm got its start developing for-sale condominiums and luxury properties over 45 years ago, later transitioning to and perfecting workforce and entry-level housing products. Between our 40 team members, we bring together a combined 120 years of development experience, 100 years of real estate finance experience, and 75 years of portfolio management. Our disciplined approach and deep market knowledge across each of our key functions - development, finance, and asset management - allows us to continue performing throughout the typical real estate cycles.
Since 2020, we have completed 15 projects, delivering over 1,000 workforce housing residences to the Bay Area. To date, the firm has raised over $1 billion of capital, comprising $450 million in private equity and more than $550 million in financing. After dispositions and refinancings, the firm oversees an $800 million real-estate asset base. Our investment team is skilled at identifying and capitalizing on opportunities - like EB-5 financing and Welfare Tax Exemptions - to enhance asset value.
Over the 45-year history of our firm, we have established a resilient asset management platform. We, like all real estate firms, are not immune to significant market corrections but we have navigated them successfully by maintaining strict underwriting discipline, including stress-testing assumptions, ensuring financing flexibility, and maintaining appropriate contingencies and equity cushions. These principles mean that we have never lost an asset or missed a loan payment. During the pandemic, we maintained high occupancy across our portfolio, successfully refinanced debt amid rising interest rates, and secured construction financing despite industry-wide disruptions. By continually evaluating opportunities and structuring deals for redundancy and long-term viability, we deliver both community impact and strong risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
