Zach Channing

Principal

Zach Channing

Principal

Zach Channing started his real estate career as a student at the University of Arizona. Recognizing the scarcity of luxury, single-family houses tailored for students, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

With a vision in mind, Zach swiftly acquired his first property, assembled a team including architects and construction managers, and embarked on building his inaugural student housing unit. The success of this first venture fueled his passion, leading to the creation of many sought-after student housing properties around the University of Arizona. During these formative years, Zach immersed himself in the industry, learning the intricacies of construction, property management, entitlement processes, and the core principles of being a successful real estate developer.

Zach attributes much of his current success to the guidance and mentorship of accomplished real estate professionals who graciously took him under their wings.

As a principal of Channing Corporation, Zach has expanded his endeavors beyond their origins, engaging in projects across multiple states, including Arizona, Colorado, Tennessee, and Florida, covering diverse sectors of the real estate industry such as Industrial, Multifamily, Self-Storage, and Student Housing. Many of these projects have undergone rezoning, obtained variances, and secured tax incentives to maximize their value.

For Zach, real estate development is an art of creativity, assembling the puzzle pieces to craft spaces that tenants cherish, and communities take pride in.
