MDI Capital (“MDI”) is a full-service real estate development, investment, and consulting firm. Headquartered in Encino, California, MDI is a subsidiary of Mar-Gulf Management Inc. (“MGM”). Since 2013, MDI has formed nearly thirty joint ventures representing the development, leasing, and ultimate sale of a variety of real estate projects located in key markets across the United States. The investments have included income-producing properties, land, distressed debt, value-add and development projects representing multiple property types (industrial, office, multi-family, retail, senior housing, self-storage and student housing). In total, MDI joint ventures have invested in assets valued well in excess of $500 million.
MGM’s parent company is Kuwait Financial Centre ‘Markaz’, a leading asset management and investment bank in the Middle East, based in Kuwait. Markaz has directly acquired/managed real estate assets or formed partnerships with leading U.S. real estate companies collectively representing well over 100 properties with a total development/acquisition cost of over $2 billion.
In addition to providing equity capital for new development opportunities, MDI offers alternative sources of capital as well. The recent rise in interest rates and uncertain values of real estate properties has prompted a need to bridge the gap between the amounts of senior debt and equity. This additional investment program of MDI is designed to provide either supplemental capital for development projects or acquisitions as well as to aid recapitalization efforts for an existing project.
Maximizing the economic potential of any real estate asset requires the insight, expertise and experience of a dedicated real estate advisory team. With over 70 years of combined management experience offered by its principals, MDI has consistently been able to identify unique real estate investment opportunities and produce exceptional economic performance for its investors.
