Jay Greenberg,
principal
Utilizing the institutional experience gained from larger New York City-based real estate firms, Jay formed what is now known as Z+G Property Group in 2014 to own, operate and manage multi-family and mixed-use properties in the New York City area. The company now owns a portfolio of 25 buildings that have all been acquired in the past 8 years all within NYC and Charleston, SC. His philosophy of using relationships to source off‐market or quietly marketed assets and value-add strategies to deliver above average returns is paramount to every transaction.

Stonehenge Partners is a leading private real estate company that owns and manages a portfolio of properties in Manhattan valued at over $2 billion.

DAN ZUCKERMAN,
Principal
Dan comes from a family that’s been heavily involved in the Washington, DC real estate market for over six decades. He learned from his father Shelton who owns and manages fourteen office buildings in downtown DC, as well as several thousand apartments in the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia. While a student of the business his whole life, Dan officially started working in real estate in 2009 when he helped to found Zuckerman Partners, a company focused on building high-end single-family homes in NW Washington, DC.
After a great couple of years with ZP, Dan decided to branch out on his own and moved to New York in 2011 where he began his search for investment properties. Since that time, Dan has built a portfolio in Brooklyn within the neighborhoods of Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, and South Slope among others. His philosophy is to always add value to the properties he purchases, investing in the long-term future of the neighborhoods as opposed to being focused on short-term profits. He is firmly committed to quality, and believes that the Brooklyn market will reward those who differentiate their product through thoughtful design and construction.
Dan received his BA from American University in International Studies in 2006; He also received a M.A. from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in 2009. He currently lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with his wife and two children.
