Martin Jia Yu Mei

Martin Jia Yu Mei is a real estate investor, strategist and founder of multiple property-focused ventures. His core duties include sourcing and underwriting properties in emerging East Coast markets like Moncton, structuring investment opportunities for out-of-province capital partners, and managing a vertically integrated platform focused on acquisitions, property management, and creative placemaking.
