Real Estate

Operates commercial properties created from the real-estate footprint of a former New York-area discount-store chain. The small Brooklyn owner-operator runs locations across New York and Ohio, including retail and commercial space and a warehouse-and-distribution tenancy.

Operates commercial properties created from the real-estate footprint of a former New York-area discount-store chain. Its owned or operated locations span Brooklyn, Jamaica, Fishkill, Levittown, Massapequa, and Circleville, Ohio.

The portfolio includes large retail and commercial spaces in Brooklyn, Jamaica, and Fishkill, while the Circleville site is leased to a warehouse-and-distribution tenant. It operates a focused property set rather than a retail chain. This is a small owner-operator run from Brooklyn under Lloyd J. Shulman.

The business follows a retail exit after 1980s restructuring; its shares began Nasdaq Capital Market trading under MAYS in 1999.
