Their flagship development, Parkmerced, will provide over 9,000 rental homes to the community alongside a number of other luxury rental residential locations.
After successfully partnering with deverellsmith on a previous project within the US, Maximus Real Estate Partners assigned Hintel (sister company of deverellsmith) on a continuous growth project which took place between 2022 and 2023.

Project Case Study: Maximus Real Estate Partners

In this latest success story, we dive into the journey of one of our valued clients who was looking to expand their presence within a market they were already established in. Despite having a foothold in the location, they were eager to scale their operations further and capitalise on untapped opportunities within the same region. Through strategic collaboration and innovative solutions, we were able to help them unlock their growth potential and achieve their expansion goals.
The partner
Hintel&rsquo;s partner has strategically established offices in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, delivering integrated residential and commercial real estate transaction, consultancy, and management services across the United Arab Emirates, the Middle East, and beyond for over 12 years.
As a leading privately owned property consultancy, they take a long-term approach, prioritising strong client relationships and offering a service that combines local expertise with global insights.
Building on previous collaborations with the deverellsmith group in the UK, the organisation partnered with Hintel to spearhead expansion efforts in the Middle East.
&nbsp;
The Project Team
The project team was structured to ensure seamless execution and optimal outcomes. A dedicated Account Manager served as the primary point of contact and was embedded within our partner&rsquo;s team and culture, providing consistent support and acting as a central resource for all project-related needs.
Meanwhile, the Regional Managing Director took on an oversight role, closely monitoring the project's progress to ensure that established timeframes were adhered to, the quality of hires met the highest standards, and all activities remained within the allocated budget. This collaborative approach ensured efficiency, accountability, and successful delivery.
