About 507
About | Pillars | Leadership
At 507 Capital, we take pride in our commitment to investing in retail shopping centers with value-add potential throughout the Midwest.
Our proven approach involves implementing a method of forced appreciation that generates exceptional value in the buildings we acquire by increasing the net operating income (NOI). We achieve this strategically by leasing vacant spaces, optimizing expenses, implementing efficient management processes, and identifying opportunities previous owners may have missed.
We understand that every investment is unique, which is why we strive to provide personalized solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of our equity partners. We prioritize our clients’ needs and objectives, working closely with them to ensure that we are aligned with their investment goals. Our approach is designed to deliver results that exceed expectations and provide our investors with a consistent stream of income and cash-on-cash returns.
We take pride in creating a hassle-free investment experience for our partners. Once you make your initial investment, you will receive regular updates on your investment through our online investor portal and quarterly and annual distributions. Our investment strategy is focused on generating annual distributions between 6% and 10% of your investment, with an aim to realize annualized returns of 16% to 20% upon sale or refinancing of the property after three to five years. It is important to note that each property will present a unique investment opportunity with different return potentials.
Despite what some people may say, brick-and-mortar retail is not on the way out.
At 507 Capital, our deep expertise in value-add, triple net retail shopping centers means we understand the value of a property through the lens of financials. And that, in turn, can mean strong returns for you.

Our approach
Our experience with value-add NNN retail shopping centers creates unique opportunities for investors to attain their financial goals. We know our numbers and are quick to understand the potential and value of a property. Being risk-averse in just the right way brings predictability to our approach — and allows you to rest easy knowing your investments are safe and secure with us.
Freedom of time
At 507 Capital, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to invest in commercial real estate, but we understand that most people don’t have the time to navigate the complex world of real estate investing on their own. That’s where we come in — to handle the process of finding, acquiring and managing a real estate portfolio so that you don’t have to.
Trust and transparency
We believe our investors should have full knowledge of how well their investment is doing, which is why we promise to always be transparent and honest on all projects, investments and operations. Our investments aren’t only in retail real estate; they’re also in building relationships designed to help you reach your financial goals.
Community
When we invest in a retail shopping center, we invest in the betterment of the community. And because we are committed to supporting our communities, after investor returns, 507 Capital donates 25% of our annual profit* to local initiatives that help drive positive change.

Zach Alms, founder and managing partner
Zach is a seasoned real estate investor with over a decade of experience in the industry. His passion for real estate began at a young age, when he started handling property management and maintenance duties for his family’s small multi-family units. At just 20 years old, Zach embarked on his own investment journey with a single-family home, renting out spare rooms to help offset the mortgage payment. From there, he progressed to 4-unit, 8-unit and 12-unit apartment buildings before ultimately focusing on commercial real estate. He now specializes in retail strip centers and has a keen eye for identifying high-value investment opportunities.
As the founder and managing partner of 507 Capital, Zach is responsible for acquisitions and asset management. He takes great pride in his ability to create value for his investors by leveraging his deep understanding of the real estate market and his extensive network of industry contacts.
Despite his busy schedule, Zach always makes time for the people and pastimes he loves. When he’s not working on real estate deals, you can find him spending time with his wife and two children, hiking, camping or enjoying a day on the lake. He’s also an avid sports fan and loves traveling to new places.
