What ZOM Living does

ZOM Living is a privately-held national multifamily and senior living real estate developer founded in 1977 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The company develops, owns, and operates luxury market-rate multifamily communities across highrise, midrise, lowrise, and garden-style typologies, with a secondary senior living platform spanning 55+ active adult, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Its portfolio is organized under multiple sub-brands (Azola, Maizon, Hazel, Azure, Solitair, Muze, Monarc, Bezel) unified by an 'Artful Living' design philosophy, and is concentrated in high-growth U.S. Sun Belt and Mid-Atlantic metros including Phoenix, Miami, Dallas, Tampa, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham, Washington D.C./Arlington, Boston, Chicago, and Nashville.

The company pursues projects almost exclusively through joint ventures with institutional capital partners — including AEW Capital Management, CP Capital, Mattoni Group, Ascentris, and The Moinian Group — providing development fees, equity co-investment, and asset-management services in exchange for capital and debt financing. Construction financing is raised on a per-project basis (e.g., $88M for Azola Desert Ridge, $38M for Mezzo Desert Ridge, $92.3M for the Doral Live Local project). End renters are sourced through on-site leasing teams and standard apartment-marketing channels; no public-facing API, software platform, or proprietary technology is offered. The company operates seven offices across its target geographies and maintains a content-forward marketing strategy anchored by its 'Z Magazine' publication.

ZOM Living's growth is tied to the cycle of institutional capital deployment into U.S. luxury multifamily and senior housing, and is currently exposed to a material legal overhang: a $323 million compensatory damages judgment entered against the company by a Maricopa County, Arizona court in May 2026 following a unanimous jury verdict in favor of Gray Development Group concerning a proposed 13-project, $1.4 billion Phoenix/Scottsdale joint venture.
