Frequently asked questions
How does Equity International source deals?
The firm relies on the Zell Organization network — built over decades across energy, logistics, transportation, and real estate — alongside relationships with local operating partners in target markets. Its website frames the approach as pairing institutional capital with strong partnerships across growth markets, rather than a formal proprietary sourcing engine.
