Welcome,
We are thrilled to share important events from this past month focused on Opportunity Zone investing.
In this summer 2019 newsletter, we celebrated the groundbreaking of our First Harbor Plaza development in Santa Ana, one of two planned for Opportunity Zones in the city. Following the event, Primior CEO Johnney Zhang was honored to be part of an Opportunity Zone panel at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach during which he shared a wealth of knowledge with an exclusive group of Orange County leaders.
We’ve also highlighted two of our most recent educational blogs to help you fine-tune your real estate investment knowledge.
Best Regards,
