Shopoff Realty Investments

What Shopoff Realty Investments does

Shopoff Realty Investments is a private, founder-led real estate investment firm founded in 1992 by William A. Shopoff and headquartered in Irvine, California. The firm pursues a multi-disciplined investment strategy across three pillars: entitlement and repurposing of land, repositioning of commercial assets, and development. Shopoff targets underutilized, undervalued, or mismanaged properties — primarily land, industrial, multifamily, office, retail, and hospitality assets — and creates value through techniques such as re-entitlement, adaptive reuse, physical rehabilitation, recapitalization, and ground-up development. Its track record as of June 30, 2024 includes more than 1,000 full-cycle assets, 388 public and private offerings, 41,198 residential lots/units entitled, 42.02 million sq. ft. of commercial property entitled, and $34.22 billion in aggregate asset value. Current major projects span California, Arizona, and Nevada, including the 83.3-acre Bolsa Pacific mixed-use redevelopment in Westminster, the 606-unit Euclid + Heil project in Fountain Valley (with Lennar), the 270-acre The Block at Elliot in Mesa, Arizona, and luxury condominiums at Parkhouse Residences in Newport Beach. The firm distributes investment offerings through its wholly-owned FINRA/SIPC broker-dealer Shopoff Securities, Inc., and via broker-dealer and RIA platform relationships, targeting accredited investors, high-net-worth individuals, banks, developers, and builders. Revenue is generated through management fees, carried interest, and gains realized on the disposition, sale, or stabilization of repositioned and developed properties, with pricing varying by project.
