We feel privileged to be a Rappaport Investor. Rappaport is our preferred investment vehicle. The differentiators of Rappaport from ordinary real estate investments are “night and day”. Their director of Investor Relations is the best in the business, knows her client’s needs, sends monthly emails, makes sure each client is handled, but also, they utilize Juniper Square which is the best platform in the business for security and record keeping.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve invested in several projects with Rappaport. With Rappaport, you can rely on regular communication, timely distributions, and detailed monthly reports. Gary and his team are always accessible for questions about specific projects or retail real estate in general. Investing with Rappaport means working with a developer who brings unmatched industry experience and integrity. The real estate market is cyclical, but Rappaport’s expertise and skills protect investor equity in tough times and create long-term value.

RSL

I’ve known Gary Rappaport for 40 years, initially as a CPA with clients who owned properties managed by Rappaport. Over the past seven years, my wife and I have invested in five shopping centers owned and managed by his organization. Gary’s integrity and dedication to our clients and properties led us to invest in 2017. After more than seven years as investors, we’ve seen how efficiently the organization operates. We especially appreciate their attention to detail, transparency, and accessibility. I highly recommend Rappaport for anyone seeking solid real estate investments with a high-quality, trustworthy team.

As an investor, trust is paramount, and Rappaport has consistently earned mine. Their transparency, market expertise, and commitment to sustainable growth shine through in every interaction. They’ve demonstrated a clear focus on both long-term value creation and integrity, which gives me confidence in entrusting my investments—and those of my siblings—to them.

FG

My family and I have been investors and partners with Rappaport for several decades. The most important factors I look for in an investment relationship, and the reasons for our longstanding admiration of Rappaport, are consistency and transparency. Rappaport has not only survived but thrived through multiple market cycles when many competitors have fallen by the wayside. Additionally, their embrace of technology and systems has led to robust financial and investor reporting, ensuring transparency at every step. If that’s not enough, a member of their team is always available to answer questions and provide clear, concise information about your investment. It is these qualities that have fostered our long-standing and continued partnership.

Liberty Group Holdings

It has truly been an honor to know Gary for over 40 years. Over the years, we have been incredibly lucky and grateful not only to be good friends but also to have the privilege of partnering with him on several projects. Gary epitomizes the true definition of honesty, professionalism, and, above all, being a good human being—the ‘salt of the earth’—who always does right by his friends and investors. He is always available for advice or simply to catch up, and not a single day passes without him returning your call. Gary’s tremendous values are unmatched in the industry and are reflected in the very fabric of his company and the people who work with him. You truly get the sense of being part of a family-oriented company with strong, old-school values that has earned the admiration of his partners and contributed to his success. To be associated with such a gentleman and his team is both an honor and a privilege.
