What We Do!
Direct Real Estate Investing
We are a private equity real estate investment and asset management firm focused on creating wealth for investors. We offer qualified investors opportunities to invest directly in revenue-producing real estate projects through a structure of Real Estate Limited Partnerships (RELPs). We are also limited partners, so our goals remain aligned with those of our investors.
M+H sources, then purchases select properties through debt instruments and sells participations to qualified investors through Limited Partnership Units. M+H manages the projects to provide both potential cash distributions to its Unitholders from property income, as well as increased asset value through expert asset management that can translate into increased Unit value on the future disposition of the projects.
Using the knowledge base
We are a small group of expert professionals working together since 2013.
Each of us brings at least 30 years of experience in an array of real estate functions. Our expertise was honed working for, and with, leading Canadian corporations in the sector, on acquisitions, relocations, leasing, development, property management, and property repositioning.
Ably using that knowledge base is what allows us to identify opportunities we can exploit most efficiently.
Focused on Opportunities in Growth Markets
We’ve found our expertise best applicable in regional growth markets. Supporting flourishing communities in developing new infrastructure or upgrading older assets taps into all of our diverse experiences while providing strong enhancement potential. Not only does that result in favorable returns, but it’s also very satisfying work.

We are a vertically integrated operation, allowing us to aggressively and efficiently manage our projects to deliver the full benefit of direct real estate ownership to our Unit holders.
