Naftali Zanziper and Portopiccolo Group Expand Healthcare Investment Portfolio with Strategic Acquisitions

The Portopiccolo Group, led by President Naftali Zanziper, continues to demonstrate its prowess in healthcare-focused investments through strategic expansion and acquisition initiatives. Based in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the family office has evolved from its healthcare services foundation to encompass a diverse portfolio of companies and real estate investments.

Under Zanziper’s leadership, the group maintains a hands-on investment approach, providing comprehensive operational support and strategic guidance to portfolio companies. The firm’s methodology includes deploying industry leaders for project management, implementing operational improvements, and making strategic investments in facilities and professional teams.

A notable recent transaction includes the acquisition of a Tarpon Springs, Florida property for $41.57 million. The 304-unit facility acquisition, executed by Naftali Zanziper and Simcha Hyman, represents a per-unit value of approximately $136,743, highlighting the group’s strategic approach to asset valuation and market positioning.

The organization’s financial stability is evidenced by its leadership’s strong financial position. The personal guarantors, including Naftali Zanziper, demonstrate considerable financial strength with a combined net worth of $1.45 billion, combined liquidity of $81.9 million, and total combined assets of $3.42 billion. This robust financial foundation enables the group to pursue substantial investment opportunities and maintain a competitive edge in the market.

The Portopiccolo Group’s investment strategy extends beyond simple acquisitions. Through 980 Investments, owned by Zanziper and Hyman, the organization has established a significant presence across 13+ states, managing over 200 facilities and 22,500 beds through 16 management companies. This extensive network allows for efficient operations and strategic market positioning.

Their most recent expansion includes a Kentucky property acquisition, structured through Monticello KY Propco LLC, demonstrating the group’s continued geographic diversification. The transaction, valued at $3.67 million, features favorable financing terms including a 12-month interest-only period followed by a 25-year amortization schedule.

The organization’s success stems from its comprehensive approach to investment and management. Under the direction of key executives, including Director of Managed Care Contracting Tania Abraham and other senior leadership team members, the group maintains a strong focus on operational excellence and strategic growth initiatives.

The Portopiccolo Group’s commitment to realizing growth potential permeates through every level of the organization, from strategic investment decisions to day-to-day operations. Their attention to detail and adherence to core values established since their founding continues to drive their success in the healthcare investment sector.

This strategic approach to growth and investment has positioned the Portopiccolo Group and Naftali Zanziper as significant players in the healthcare real estate and services sector, with a proven track record of successful acquisitions and operational improvements across their expanding portfolio.
