Combined Properties is a privately held owner, operator, and developer founded in 1984 by Ronald S. Haft. The firm began as a retail-center specialist and has evolved into a diversified platform spanning grocer-anchored retail, multifamily, and mixed-use, with selective hospitality exposure. Today it focuses on two core markets—the Washington, DC metropolitan area and Southern California—where it controls a roughly $2 billion portfolio exceeding 6 million square feet and a development pipeline of more than $1 billion. Its strategy emphasizes long-term ownership, conservative capitalization, and value creation through redevelopment, re-tenanting, and mixed-use densification, alongside targeted acquisitions of stabilized Class A/B multifamily and high-performing retail. The portfolio includes signature East Coast projects such as Scout on the Circle in Fairfax and South Alex in Alexandria, as well as West Coast holdings in Studio City and West Hollywood, where Combined co-developed the Pendry West Hollywood hotel and residences. Top markets exposure is concentrated in Northern Virginia (Fairfax/Alexandria), Montgomery & Prince George’s counties in Maryland, and the Los Angeles submarkets of Studio City/West Hollywood. This DC-and-LA focus supports operating leverage and local leasing relationships. Across its centers, major anchors and traffic drivers include national grocers and value/soft-goods retailers such as Giant Food, Lidl, ALDI, and Burlington, which shape leasing strategies and sales productivity. The company remains privately owned under the leadership of its founder-chairman and an experienced executive team overseeing acquisitions, development, capital markets, and asset management.
