Shomof Group is a U.S.-based real estate development firm founded in 1991 by Izek Shomof, specializing in the acquisition, renovation, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Operating with a pioneering vision since 1999, the firm has driven the transformation of obsolete office buildings into vibrant live-work lofts, playing a central role in the ongoing revitalization of urban historic districts. The firm's asset classes and scope encompass a robust portfolio featuring over 2,000 residential units and approximately 3 million square feet of commercial space across office, retail, and industrial sectors. Its project scope includes prominent historical transformations such as the Alexandria Hotel, Hayward Hotel, and Spring Tower Lofts, alongside large-scale initiatives like the proposed Life Rebuilding Center at the historic Sears Distribution Building, which is designed to deliver 5,500 beds and 250,000 square feet of supportive services with a strong focus on low-income and supportive housing. Geographically, Shomof Group centers its core adaptive reuse operations in downtown Los Angeles—particularly the Historic Core district—while expanding its regional project footprint into Long Beach, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, and Las Vegas.
