Company

Company overview

J.W. Mays provides premises for tenants’ businesses, with rental income depending on keeping tenants and collecting their payments. Two tenants provide a substantial share of rental revenue, so their continued tenancy matters to the business.

Online shopping has reduced retailers’ need for space, while remote work has weakened office demand. The company markets available space to government, medical, industrial and educational tenants. Preparing properties for new tenants also requires investment; higher fit-out costs can delay income-producing opportunities until financing is available.

    Fed Interest Rate Decision
