What We’re About:
Finding VALUE in the RUBBLE
Birthed in 2020, out of the pandemic - Metz Kelly Holdings (MKX) is one of the nation’s fastest growing real estate investment firms. Formed by long-time business partners and friends, Blythe Metz and Jon Kelly, MKX is pioneering commercial real estate through the us of structured finance and a focus on acquiring high-upside multifamily, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse properties. MKX started as a commercial mortgage brokerage before adorning the cap of developers themselves - but carry the benefit of staying in-tuned to the commercial lending landscape and built-in capital-sourcing to cut costs. In the brief time since the shift towards acquisitions, MKX has grown their portfolio from 0 to 620 units under management and growing fast. MKX focuses on taking C class assets to A-B class through a mix of aggressive renovation dollars and a proprietary system that finds off-market assets in A+ growth markets. All signs point to the continuing metoric rise of MKX and anticipate over 2,000 units by the end of 2023.
