Real Estate & Development
Nearly fifteen years turning land and ideas into places that perform — from small infill residential to commercial, retail, and hospitality.
A track record approaching $100M in real estate development.
Mast grew out of North by Northeast Development, co-founded by Steve Mabee in 2012 — more than 100 homes and $50 million in commercial assets along the way. We handle projects of any size, from consulting to full development leadership, backed by strategic relationships across architecture, land planning, and banking, and deep, hands-on experience in underwriting, construction, and sales.
Feasibility, proformas, and a clear-eyed read on what a site can really do — before you commit capital.
Disciplined underwriting and financial planning, backed by established banking relationships — so the capital is structured, sound, and secured before ground breaks.
We run the project end to end: entitlements, design team, budget, schedule, and construction, so the vision survives contact with reality.
Whether you're building to hold or building to sell, we structure the work to protect the investment and put more in your pocket.
In-house building means the numbers on the proforma are the numbers we build to — with transparent reporting the whole way.
We orchestrate the strategy, the players, and the process to bring a vision to life.
Bring your own architect and design team, or we'll assemble the right one — drawing on long-standing relationships with the architects, engineers, land planners, interior designers, surveyors, and master tradespeople who do Nashville's best work. Either way, Mast is the constant that keeps everyone moving in the same direction.
Through MW Real Estate, Steve's broader work spans hospitality and neighborhood retail — a portfolio of places, not just buildings.
