Investment Case Study (1)

Maximus and Wampanoag Development were able to find two loft projects in the Tribeca area of Manhattan with various illegal tenants.


Properties were purchased from an estate at an under market basis as there was very little income due to rent strike.


Maximus/ Wampanoag legal knowledge was instrumental in leveraging the buyout of the existing squatters.


By vacating the properties and creating a white box, both properties were predeveloped for end users and the partnership was able to achieve a 10x on invested capital.

Investment Case Study (2)

Maximus was able to secure a 99yr groundhold lease on a parking lot in the Little Italy area of Manhattan. It had been owned by a family since the 1950’s.


A complex purchase of the leasehold was structured with no escalations and a transaction that enabled the family to transfer their interests to Florida commercial real estate.


The lowered basis of the project via ground lease enabled Maximus to team up with a builder and complete a rental building in one of the hottest areas downtown.


The mixed use building is currently receiving rents above the market and has locked in a low loan payment for ten years.
