Michael Schultz

I am a dedicated and strategic real estate professional with over 20 years of experience in asset management, operations, and strategic repositioning. Recently transitioning from a Senior Transformational Operations Leader to a specialized focus on commercial real estate development, sales, and acquisitions, I am passionate about creating value-driven, community-oriented spaces that serve both investors and local neighborhoods. As a Principal at Orange Belt Investments, based in St. Petersburg, FL, I focus on acquiring undervalued properties, transforming them through innovative development, and fostering sustainable growth. Our work spans creative retail and restaurant concepts, multi-functional warehouse and flex spaces, and supportive housing initiatives—always emphasizing community impact and long-term value. I work closely with both active and passive investors, utilizing data-driven strategies to manage every stage of the investment lifecycle—from acquisition to disposition. My approach combines operational excellence with a keen eye for market potential, ensuring that each project not only delivers financial returns but also enhances the communities we serve.
