The company's product portfolio includes named developments such as Cedar Gate (12 houses in Ringwood), Hunters Lodge (6 Victorian houses in Ringwood), Carting House Close (11 homes in Salisbury), and the upcoming Romsey Road Wellow project (two sustainable houses with planning approval secured October 2025 and completion expected November 2026).

Zelda Investments operates a referral-driven, direct-to-consumer sales model, with many properties sold off-plan or through word-of-mouth from existing clients who visit previous developments. The company actively solicits new site recommendations and maintains a lean organizational structure with 1-10 employees. Revenue is generated through one-time property sales, with pricing not publicly disclosed and prospective buyers directed to contact the firm directly. The business is bootstrap-funded with no evidence of external institutional investment or venture capital backing.
