Kali Valenzuela is a real estate professional with over 20 years of experience spanning investment sales, acquisitions, development, and business development across the New York metropolitan area and beyond.
Kali began his career in investment sales at Besen & Associates, where from 2004 to 2008 he focused on multifamily, mixed-use, and retail properties — developing a strong foundation in valuation, deal structuring, and the broker relationships that define this industry. He went on to hold Director of Acquisitions roles at Knightsbridge Properties, MBH Acquisitions, and GDC Properties, where he sourced and executed transactions across multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, and ground-up development — including a $106M multifamily acquisition in Connecticut and a ground-up project in Long Island City. At Tower Holdings Group, he served as Director of Acquisitions & Real Estate Development, overseeing high-rise residential and hospitality deals across multiple markets.
Most recently, Kali served as VP of Business Development at Ripco Management, the property management division of Ripco Real Estate, before joining Tillman Digital Cities as Executive Director of Client Solutions. At TDC, he leads business development for the company’s neutral-host Distributed Antenna System infrastructure platform — bringing enterprise-grade wireless connectivity to large-format commercial facilities on a zero-CapEx managed service model. His client base spans major CRE owners, healthcare systems, and institutional landlords across the country.
Kali holds a Master’s degree in Real Estate Finance from NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate and a Bachelor’s degree from Bowdoin College.
