If It’s Good Enough for Richard Ziman, It’s Good Enough for Winefield & Associates

10/28/2016

 
Contaminated Industrial Facility
Mr. Ziman, inarguably one of the most successful real estate investors in Southern California, discusses his bullish stance on buying industrial facilities at urban infill sites in the Los Angeles Business Journal. If it’s good enough for Mr. Ziman, it’s good enough for Winefield & Associates. Winefield & Associates also invests almost exclusively in this sector, albeit on smaller properties than Mr. Ziman’s Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. Should Rexford management be reading this blog, please feel free to sell us any industrial spaces you believe are just too contaminated for your portfolio. We love dirty dirt!
