In 1965, William (Bill) Zalla was a young stockbroker. By night and on the weekends, he began contracting to complete small building projects for his financial services clients and others. In no time it became his primary pursuit. While he started as a merchant builder, doing both residential and commercial work, Bill began creating assets for his own portfolio.

Today, Zalla Companies is a group of nineteen dedicated professionals who develop and manage a growing portfolio of real estate assets which they intend to maintain for the long term.

Zalla Companies has experience in the entire real estate development life cycle. Our approach has always been one of direct engagement; active participation in all aspects of a project including site identification, zoning and permitting, design development, tenant brokerage, construction management, property maintenance and asset management. Our portfolio of assets includes warehouse/industrial, retail, professional offices, medical offices, multi-family/residential and special purpose facilities.

Our officers David Heidrich, CEO and Julie Rottman, CFO have been involved in the commercial development business for fifty-five years collectively. Over the years, the company has consistently grown both in size and in the complexity of the project undertaking. David Heidrich has worked with Zalla Companies since 2000 and served as CEO since 2002. He has managed the growth of the company projects and assets by 400%. This includes guiding the development of the medical office portfolio. As President and CEO, he establishes the strategic direction for the company and supplies leadership in all matters.

We compete for our clients’ business through service and value. Service is vital part of our culture. We bring an attitude of hospitality to our work that often is absent with other developer/owners. Our value proposition is deeply rooted in our investment philosophy for long term ownership.

From day one, we assume that we will own the asset for fifty years. This commitment drives all subsequent decision making and investment choices. We invest more in the beginning because we are certain of our returns. We find this approach is beneficial for our owners, but more importantly for our clients.
