Siffin\u2019s keen eye for development, land acquisition and investment made him the perfect leader for a company looking to create some of the 21st century&#8217;s most enduring monuments to progress. From Maefield\u2019s work developing Times Square and Miami into light-filled nightlife destinations to their work in the domestic acquisition, the company has found ways to expand and shape what American cities, towns, offices and residences look like. Maefield\u2019s job is to both set the tone for this kind of overarching change and to predict the needs of future Americans in choosing a space to live and work in.<\/p>\n<p>Siffin has done his part to enlarge the company\u2019s scope by choosing projects of architectural and cultural importance. When he presented a projection of City Square in the heart of Miami in 2010\u2014a light-flooded scene of imposing towers, billboards, and shopping boutiques\u2014it was a vision for the city that no one had imagined on such a large scale. Siffin\u2019s foresight brought a new sense of what Miami could be to the forefront\u2014a place for congregation, shopping, and spectacle all in one place. Maefield has continued to build on this idea with new developing properties in smaller cities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"http:\/\/inspirery.com\/mark-siffin\/\">Bloomington, Indiana native<\/a>, Siffin understands the value and beauty of the small-town American landscape. He also sees its potential. Siffin set up Maefield as a way to <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Building restoration\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/building-restoration\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/building_restoration;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.02xfxd;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Building_restoration\" >restore<\/a> and rehabilitate the beauty of once-neglected American neighbourhoods and cityscapes, helping these areas grow and become new.<\/p>\n<p>After years of trading on the <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/floor\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/floor;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.0l7_8;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Floor\" >floor<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cmegroup.com\/\">Chicago Mercantile Exchange<\/a>, Siffin sharpened his skill set and started to go after development <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Public housing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/public-housing\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/public_housing;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.0184vk;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Public_housing\" >projects<\/a>. His expertise in making deals and spotting worthwhile investments served him well while building and growing Maefield as a business. He now serves as both Chairman and CEO of the rapidly expanding company, overseeing its projects in large-scale city planning as well as <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Residential area\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/residential-area\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/residential_area;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.02nfxt;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Residential_area\" >residential<\/a> real estate.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most breathtaking projects in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maefield.com\/portfolio\/\">Maefield\u2019s development portfolio<\/a> is the three-<a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"City block\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/city-block\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/city_block;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.03sjz2;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/City_block\" >block<\/a> spanning Capri apartment complex in South Beach. The thoroughly modern building features an oceanfront view, stunning oversized balconies, and a placement that enhances a resident\u2019s sense of the city. This feeling of enhancing a city\u2019s natural charms is central to Siffin\u2019s direction of Maefield as a company. A deep appreciation of history and place run alongside Maefield\u2019s commitment to creating <a class=\"wl-entity-page-link\" title=\"Property\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/property\/\" data-id=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl0502\/entity\/property;http:\/\/rdf.freebase.com\/ns\/m.05wrt;http:\/\/dbpedia.org\/resource\/Property\" >properties<\/a> that suit the changing needs of future residents. Each Maefield property is a labour of love, guided by Siffin\u2019s vision, and shaped by a commitment to creating better, more lived-in cities.
