My Property has construction defects and deferred maintenance – can you handle these issues?
Yes.
MSI has successfully administered hundreds of millions of dollars for major construction contracts in government-supervised developments. We have completed these projects ahead of schedule and under budget. To date we have completed over $500 million in construction projects. Not only have we completed contracts on time and ahead of schedule, we have done so in a regulated environment where exacting state and federal regulations on bidding, contract award, payment, and record keeping must be met. All the work was completed in occupied developments and was accomplished with minimum disruption to the residents and shareholders.
What is MSI’s most recent accomplishment?
In 2013, MSI saved Riverbay/Co-op City $1 million per month and hundreds of millions of dollars over time by securing a 35-year, $621,500,000 mortgage at an unprecedentedly low 2.4% interest rate.
