We specialize in project managing new construction and occupied rehabilitation using Low Income Housing Tax Credits and other subsidized financing sources. ZDC was founded in 2011 by principal Zen Sawyer. Reflective of the group’s name, Zen and his team embrace a company ethos of focus, honesty, compassion, and calmness, especially when things get hectic.  

ZDC is based in California but works coast to coast and has experience in over half of the states in the country. Together with our developer clients, ZDC believes we can build a better world, with a more attractive, more inclusive, more sustainable, and more affordable built environment.

Some of our consultants specialize in financial structuring and predevelopment; others specialize in project and construction management; one specializes in buildout of large scale master plans; and two specialize in asset management and resyndications. Together, we offer a full suite of services spanning the entire development process from conception to completion.
