Redefining Affordable

At GAM Companies, we go beyond real estate development. We are making lasting investments in communities that are rooted in tradition and grounded in hard work and aim to strengthen the social and economical fabric of the communities we serve.

Marlstone was created to address the housing shortages in Midwest communities by delivering a strategic and sustainable vision for affordable multifamily living.

By leveraging a cost-intelligent hybrid approach that integrates modular and panelized construction, we’ve created a budget-conscious multifamily product that reduces labor costs, minimizes material waste, and accelerates project timelines.

Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow

We see an intrinsic value in the enduring communities that forged the Midwest heritage and firmly believe our developments will help strengthen these communities and build lasting value.

Fit The Market To The Product

Our differentiator is a building style that has been efficiently designed and engineered to break the barriers preventing smaller communities from meeting housing demands.

Redefining Affordable

We are shattering the stereotype that synonymizes affordable with subsidized by providing the same quality, safety, and amenities that come with urban living.

Our Solution

Marlstone was specifically designed with efficiency in mind and utilizes a cost-efficient hybrid construction approach that seamlessly integrates modular units with panelized wall systems. Unnecessary bottlenecks are mitigated in nearly all phases - from manufacturing to on-site assembly - meaning our buildings cost less and are delivered quicker.

Protecting Your Investment

"The goal of a successful investor is to make the most of the ups and to minimize the damage of the downs." – John C. Bogle

TARGETED ANALYTICS

We use advanced real estate analytics and AI-driven insights to identify and evaluate opportunities. Each deal is screened through proprietary gating criteria, ensuring only the most viable, high-yield assets move to due diligence. This approach helps us target consistently strong performers with solid growth potential and limited downside risk.

SHIELDED RISK

We add safeguards into each subsequent phase to mitigate risk. Our financial model undergoes a series of stress tests by weakening certain internal and external variables to ensure IRR is still achieved. We integrate liquidated damages, flow-down clauses, and claw-back provisions into contract documents and perform a continuous Monte Carlo risk analysis through closing.
