Riaz Capital is a development and asset management company focused on addressing the changing housing needs of the urban workforce in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We create stylish and functional homes that meet the needs and budgets of the middle-income workforce, a group that is greatly underserved by current housing supply.

Our principals have been successfully operating in the Bay Area since 1977. Currently, we own and operate ~1,500 units with building sizes ranging from 6-140 units and are in development on another ~3,300 new units.

Riaz Capital is a real estate developer-operator and asset management company addressing the lack of quality, affordably-priced housing for California’s urban workforce. Our mission is to provide convenient, high-quality, and financially accessible multifamily housing to underserved middle-income professionals.

At the core of our solution to the Bay Area housing crisis is the micro-living model - a synthesis of our years-long experience in small-format housing, student housing, traditional multi-family, and co-living. Our projects emphasize architectural design and creativity, walkability, use of open space, cost-efficiency, and personal privacy.

Operating in the Bay Area since 1977, Riaz Capital’s roots go back two generations. Today, we have ~$750+ million in real estate assets and 3,600 units under management and development.

We owe our success to our strategy of creating value for both residents and investors. The design-conscious, energy-efficient homes we build create a premium-quality residential experience that is affordably priced for California's middle-income professionals while our capital-efficient operations and quick development timeline generate strong cash flow for investors.
