Frequently asked questions

What kind of real estate does Urban Land Capital target?

The office focuses on value-add and opportunistic urban residential and mixed-use properties, often entering deals through distressed note acquisitions or buying vacated commercial loft buildings for residential conversion. Its geographic footprint is concentrated in New York City — primarily Manhattan and Brooklyn — with selective activity in supply-constrained secondary Northeast markets.

Where does the Zeckendorf family wealth originate?

The wealth traces to William Zeckendorf Sr., who led Webb & Knapp in assembling the land for the United Nations headquarters, Century City in Los Angeles, and numerous iconic Manhattan developments in the mid-20th century. His son William Zeckendorf Jr. continued developing landmark New York properties, and the third generation — Arthur and William Lie — manage separate but occasionally co-investing real estate platforms today.
