ABOUT ZINN ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (“ZAM”)

Zinn Realty Corporation is an affiliate of Zinn Asset Management Corp. (“ZAM”). ZAM has a proven nationwide, multi-decade, hands-on track record as a master developer of live/work/play/stay/ recreate/educate communities and also as the project developer for various projects within these and other communities. ZAM is also one of the few real estate firms in the country who have successfully focused on helping achieve regional economic sustainability through its real estate activities. Many of its real estate related projects have included quality of life considerations including economic development, education, entrepreneurship, environmental, technology, transportation, healthcare, historic preservation and quality of life initiatives (“ZAM targeted initiatives”).

ZAM strives to do significant good for the “greater good”, have fun, and achieve a financial return simultaneously with each of its investments.

Specifically, ZAM is a real estate development firm that seeks to obtain the utmost value and impact from its mixed-use and other projects which 1. Offer opportunities for local economic development, 2. Embrace environmental responsibility and energy productivity, 3. Incorporate designs that prioritize the human experience, 4. Accommodate changing land uses over time, and finally, 5. Positively build social capital.

ZAM is managed as one firm, located in Bluffton, SC. ZAM has considerable expertise in the management and oversight of real estate companies and investments nationwide through all economic and market cycles.

ZAM’s proven operational experience and successes span the gamut over the past 35+ years from startup companies with no or virtually no assets and overhead to larger companies (e.g., a company with $3+ million of base corporate overhead alone in 1986 dollars which is equivalent to $8+ million in 2021 dollars) with completely different opportunities and challenges. In all cases, ZAM works closely on the particular needs, opportunities and/or challenges of its developments and investments and their impact on the areas in which they lie.
