Kosse Maykus – Strategic Advisor
In Memoriam
Kosse Maykus has been building homes and neighborhoods since 1978 when he graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting.
He has developed over 45 neighborhoods where he has accumulated the raw land, entitled the zoning and platting, created the land plans, managed the construction of the infrastructure, marketed and sold the completed lots, and then built the bulk of the new homes. These neighborhood entitlements were achieved in communities with very difficult entitlement and political processes.
Our Strategic Partners
NuCiti Capital Partners believes a cohesive team of business managers and selected strategic partners working together on a common objective directly impacts the success of both value creation and the financial performance of real estate assets.
Property Management: An exclusive and experienced Property Management partner handles resident retention and asset optimization for the properties in the NuCiti fund. The heartbeat of the property management business is our Efficiency Center. This is the secret sauce that boosts investor returns and improves the life of tenants in our communities.
The 2 main goals of the NuCiti Property Management team are:
1) To fully occupy the property with high quality tenants shortly upon completion of development.
2) Tenant retention through operational expertise with happy, healthy, reliable tenants. By applying world class property management efficiencies, NuCiti aims to optimize net operating income (NOI) to a level that is revered in the industry.
Construction Management: A dedicated construction management and consulting partner provides full-service construction, remodel, and restoration. With resources such as their own warehouse, architects, interior designers, and on-site specialists in all trades, NuCiti is able to ensure the proper execution of the asset improvement plan and at the end of the day, the property’s contribution to the community revitalization.
Capital and Financing: NuCiti partners with likeminded equity partners, developers, and leading construction lending institutions. Should you have any financing proposals to present or an interest in directly participating as a Partner, please contact us.
Tax Management & Cost Segregation: NuCiti Capital Partners utilizes professional services from industry leaders specializing in cost segregation and innovative tax/energy solutions. Cost Segregation is a bonus depreciation from the asset purchase and capital improvements of the properties. This accelerated depreciation flows back to the developing entity and its partners. Much of the bonus depreciation is realized by the equity owners in year 1 of the investment period.
