Maple is a boutique property group.
We are a real estate advisor, transaction manager and development partner.

Founded in 2010 by Todd Solomon, Maple focusses on property encountering change, assisting businesses in managing property requirements and enabling transactions or value-add programs. Our background in property development and global capital markets coupled with a deep understanding of complex property give rise to a unique value proposition.

Real estate requirements evolve over time, needs change, opportunities and threats emerge. Maple’s objective is to partner with our clients to meet opportunities, manage threats and position for value or business strength.

We take our cue from the concentric rings in the trunk of the Maple. Taking a long-term view of growth and consolidation cycles, we respect the legacy of real estate and aim to position for value as times change.
