MAA is also the seventh largest apartment manager with operations of over $20B. Headquartered in Germantown, Tennessee, the company runs properties in 30 markets with a focus on gateway cities throughout the Sun Belt.
Ward joined MAA through the merger with Post Properties and was able to bring a development platform with him that further elevated MAA’s production capacity.
