Frequently Asked Questions
We structure for community resilience, not just financial returns. Most advisors treat sports districts as real estate plays; we treat them as community assets that must survive political, economic, and social shifts. That changes everything—from how we underwrite risk to how we design governance to what we measure for success.
No. Our integrated model means you get both. When we represent you in a transaction (buy-side, sell-side, or tenant rep), sustainability advisory is built into the service at no additional cost. For portfolio strategy work unrelated to active transactions, we provide standalone advisory services. Many clients use us for both—advisory work on their existing portfolio and transaction services when they're buying or selling.
We specialize in Sports and entertainment venues and the real estate ecosystems around them. But also provide brokerage and advisory services across all commercial real estate asset types.
The earlier the better. The most valuable work happens before any land is acquired — mapping the community, identifying the opportunity, and structuring the development thesis correctly from the start. Engaging Zelyx after land is already under contract or a development plan is already in motion limits what is possible. The displacement diagnosis, the capital structure, and the community benefit strategy all need to be in place before the deal is structured, not after.
Nothing formal is required. Come with a clear sense of where you are — what your organization has done on sustainability, where the pressure is coming from internally or externally, and what you are trying to solve for. If you have a specific regulatory concern, a development opportunity in mind, or an ownership conversation you are trying to prepare for, bring that context. The first conversation is about understanding your situation, not presenting ours.
