Simon Media Properties

Simon Media Properties

Simon Media Properties is the family office entity associated with the Simon family, whose primary wealth derives from Simon Property Group, the largest publicly traded retail REIT in North America. The office operates from Wayzata, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, indicating a deliberate distance from the REIT's Indianapolis headquarters. The investment strategy centers on media and real estate — the office owns a portfolio of media properties including radio stations and digital platforms, as well as commercial real estate holdings. It makes direct investments in operating businesses rather than passive fund commitments. Geographic focus appears US-only. No team size, AUM, or recent operational events are publicly available. The office's connection to the Simon family — through Melvin Simon and his descendants — is the primary differentiator, though no named principals or specific portfolio companies have been disclosed. The office likely operates with a lean internal team. Structurally, Simon Media Properties is a single-family office with no external capital management, making it distinct from multi-family offices or institutional allocators. Its secrecy is typical of older family wealth that avoids public scrutiny, and it does not maintain a public website or marketing materials.
