COMPANY:

At SABAN Real Estate, we seek to acquire and develop a best-in-class portfolio of commercial real estate while capitalizing on opportunistic investments across a wide range of geographies and asset classes. We identify on and off-market opportunities that leverage our experience not only in real estate, but also in tax, legal and private equity. We focus on three primary strategies:

• General Services Administration (GSA) Office: office properties leased to the federal government throughout the country.
• Self-storage: national opportunities through its joint-venture with William Warren Group (StorQuest).
• Manufactured housing: own and operate manufactured housing communities.

In addition, Saban Real Estate will look at a wide range of opportunities outside of the four established verticals that leverage the firm’s expertise in not only real estate, but also tax, legal and private equity. These transactions can vary from take privates to portfolios or entity level investments.

We are committed to creating a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, veteran status or reproductive health decision-making.
