The Team

Zak Snider Founder, Haus Development Group

Zak has over 20 years of real estate, construction, and design experience dating back to his summer internship with a bricklayer in Ohio while in high school. After designing his parents’ home at 18, he knew it was what he was meant to do, so he obtained his Masters in Architecture from Yale. After graduating top of his class, Zak went to work for SHoP Architects in NYC, where he was part of the design team for the Barclay’s Arena in Brooklyn; he also worked with a top architect on high-end condo conversions in TriBeCa and SoHo. Though his passion was always residential design and building, Zak took a 12-year detour into the world of commercial real estate in order to make that dream a reality. Over his career, Zak was responsible for more than 11 million ft² of office leasing, including Hudson Yards, the largest private development in the history of the US.

Zak founded Haus Development Group to build beautiful custom homes that merge innovative design, quality materials, and functionality along with a high level of service to clients.
