Think of us as the nucleus.
Every successful project has one person connecting the dots.
We represent owners throughout planning, design, procurement, and construction by bringing teams together, anticipating challenges, and keeping projects moving toward opening day.
ZACH RAPAPORT
Founder & Principal
Development perspective. Construction expertise.
With more than 14 years leading hospitality, retail, wellness, and commercial development across the United States, Zach founded Meerkat to give owners a true advocate throughout the development process.
Before Meerkat, he led development and construction for brands including Joe & The Juice, Selina, and Life House. Today, he partners with growing brands to help navigate the complexity of opening successful new locations.
WHY MEERKAT
Why “Meerkat”?
While every member of a meerkat colony has a role, one always stays alert.
It watches ahead, anticipates problems, and keeps the group moving safely forward.
That’s how we think about owner’s representation.
