Core offering

Blaser Ventures is a Salt Lake City-based real estate developer and investor that acquires, structures, and capitalizes impact-oriented mixed-use, affordable housing, and industrial properties, primarily within Opportunity Zone designations. The company develops projects across three core categories—urban mixed-use, affordable housing (including LIHTC-financed projects), and industrial—with emphasis on adaptive reuse, sustainability, and placemaking. The company raises equity from institutional and qualified investors, manages its own portfolio of properties, and operates internal property management for both residential and commercial assets.

Product overview

Blaser Ventures is a Salt Lake City-based real estate development and investment company operating as a unified portfolio of distinct property developments rather than a software product platform. The company operates three main property categories: Urban Mixed Use developments (Silos, Pickle & Hide, Post District, Granary Square), Affordable Housing projects (Silos Affordable Housing, Victory Heights, South Salt Lake Market Center), and Industrial properties (Legacy View, 1960 S 4250 W, BCG XR, Evergen, Quality Produce/Speedway Café). Each named project functions as an individual product within the portfolio, with some projects having multiple phases or sub-components. The company focuses on adaptive reuse, sustainability, and placemaking across Opportunity Zone investments.

Direct peers

• The Boyer Company: Long-standing Salt Lake City real estate developer where Blaser's controller previously managed $500M+ of projects. Directly comparable as a SLC-based mixed-use, multifamily, and industrial developer with deep local relationships.
• Evergen Equity: JV partner with Blaser on a 6.28-acre South Salt Lake City industrial assemblage. Comparable as an infill industrial-to-multifamily conversion operator in the same metro and asset class.
• Woodbury Corporation: Utah-based real estate developer where former Blaser associate Steven Boswell managed ~$1.5B of mixed-use commercial projects. Comparable in geography (Salt Lake City), asset class mix (mixed-use, multifamily, industrial), and impact/community focus.
• Lowe Property Group: Direct JV partner of Blaser Ventures on the Silos mixed-use project in Salt Lake City's Granary District. Both firms focus on mixed-use, mixed-income, and impact-oriented development in the SLC market.

Broad incumbents

• Kilroy Realty Corporation: West Coast office-focused REIT where Blaser's Director of Development previously oversaw ~$7B of projects. Comparable at the product-type level (large-scale, mixed-use commercial development) but operates as a public, geographically broader incumbent.
• Hines: Global real estate developer with a strong track record in sustainable, mixed-use, and impact-oriented development. Comparable in placemaking/sustainability orientation but with vastly larger scale and national/international footprint.
• Bridge Investment Group: National alternative asset manager and JV partner with Blaser Ventures on Post District. Comparable as a vertically integrated real estate operator deploying Opportunity Zone and value-add capital; broader scale and product diversification.

Emerging players

• Van Metre Companies: Mid-Atlantic mixed-use and multifamily developer with comparable commitment to placemaking, adaptive reuse, and community-enhancing projects. Similar scope of master-planned districts but in a different geography.
• RangeWater Real Estate: Sun Belt-focused multifamily and mixed-use developer with build-to-rent and master-planned community expertise. Comparable in product type (mixed-use/multi-family) and capital partner model; competing for institutional capital but in a different geography.

Regional players

• Ivory Homes: Utah's largest homebuilder, focused on residential for-sale product in the Salt Lake City metro. Comparable as a Utah-focused residential/mixed-use developer competing for the same local labor, capital, and entitled land.
