Affiliated Companies

Maverick Capital is a holding company. We hold and build a portfolio of real estate—outdoor hospitality, lifestyle and residential communities, and specialized assets—and most of the value in what we hold wasn’t there when we bought it. It came from the work afterward. That is the whole thesis: buy carefully, then run the asset better than the seller did.

Founded by John Cascarano, Blue Metric Group is an investment platform in outdoor hospitality. BMG acquires the assets and operates them under its own brands, Streamside Parks and Steady Stays, with one set of systems and a consistent guest experience across every property. One company owns, two brands operate — a structure we know well and watch closely.

Curated Capital, founded by Zackry Cooper, is a capital markets firm that arranges debt and structured financing for real estate operators, working directly with more than fifty lenders rather than through the usual approval hierarchies. That vantage point tells us where financing is actually available, and on what terms, long before it shows up in a market report.

Scale or Sell advises business owners on finance and operations, and takes them through the sale when it is time — planning, cash flow, analysis, and the mergers and acquisitions work at the end of it. Tom Broughton is the founder. Sitting on the owner’s side of that table, year after year, teaches you what actually makes an operating business worth buying, which is a useful thing to know before you buy one.

Vista Lago, Smith Lake

Vista Lago is a 96-acre, master-planned residential community spearheaded by founder Nathan Stoops along the wooded shoreline of Smith Lake in Cullman County, Alabama. Waterfront land there is limited, demand for it is steady, and the site needs the kind of work we know how to do — planning, infrastructure, and building something people want to live in. That combination is why we are in it.
