Real estate investment firm SMA Equities owns, manages and develops properties across the U.S. Its varied portfolio spans the gamut of Old World tenements through contemporary, newly built mixed-use complexes in Long Island and Texas. Many of its New York City-based properties are turn-of-the-century and later prewar mid-sized buildings with ground-level retail and residential units starting at the second floor. The firm is more than 30 years old and has a laudable track-record for taking challenged real estate and converting it into profitable assets.
