Premier Real Estate Development & Investment — Tampa, FL
State Street Investments acquires, entitles, and develops strategic real estate across the southeastern United States — creating exceptional value for investors, landowners, and the communities we serve.
Who We Are
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, State Street Investments is a privately held real estate development and investment firm with a singular focus: identifying and executing high-value opportunities across the southeastern United States.
We operate at the intersection of deep market knowledge, strong local relationships, and disciplined capital allocation. Whether we are partnering with landowners to unlock the hidden value of their property or delivering build-to-suit commercial projects for national retailers, our approach is always the same — thorough, strategic, and results-driven.
Our investors trust us because we treat every deal as if our own capital is on the line — because it is.
What We Do
From identifying the right parcel to delivering a finished project, we manage every phase of the real estate development lifecycle with precision, integrity, and an unwavering focus on value creation.
We identify and structure value-add real estate opportunities designed to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Our investment strategy spans residential land entitlement, commercial development, and build-to-suit projects — each underwritten with institutional-grade rigor and a focus on capital preservation.
Every parcel of land tells a story — and we know how to read it. From compact urban infill lots to expansive underutilized farmland, we bring a tailored acquisition strategy to every opportunity. Our entitlement expertise and deep local relationships allow us to move quickly and decisively when the right land becomes available.
We bring projects from concept to completion. Working alongside a trusted network of architects, engineers, contractors, and municipal partners, we manage every phase of the development process — from initial entitlement approvals through final construction delivery — ensuring projects are completed on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.
Our Approach
Our disciplined, four-phase investment process is the foundation of everything we do — ensuring that every project is identified, acquired, entitled, and delivered with precision and accountability.
We leverage deep regional expertise and on-the-ground market intelligence to identify high-potential opportunities — often before they ever reach the open market. Our proactive sourcing gives us a first-mover advantage that others simply cannot match.
Every acquisition begins with exhaustive due diligence. We evaluate market conditions, entitlement risk, infrastructure, and exit scenarios before committing capital — structuring each transaction to align with our investment thesis and protect our investors' interests.
Navigating the entitlement process is where we truly differentiate ourselves. Our established relationships with municipalities, planning boards, and regulatory agencies allow us to unlock maximum land value efficiently — turning raw land into fully entitled, development-ready assets.
From groundbreaking to final delivery, we manage every detail of the construction and development process. Our hands-on approach and trusted contractor relationships ensure that every project is completed on schedule, within budget, and to the exacting standards our investors expect.
Leadership
Founder & Principal
Michael Schuh founded State Street Investments in 2014 with a clear vision: to build a disciplined, relationship-driven real estate firm that delivers consistent results for investors and meaningful outcomes for the communities it serves.
With more than a decade of hands-on experience spanning both residential and commercial real estate, Michael brings a rare combination of market instinct, operational discipline, and genuine integrity to every project. His ability to identify opportunities others overlook — and to execute on them with speed and precision — has been the cornerstone of State Street's growth and reputation across the southeastern United States.
Michael leads every deal personally, ensuring that the firm's standards of excellence are upheld from the first site visit to the final closing. His belief is simple: great real estate development creates lasting value — not just for investors, but for the families and communities that call these places home.
Why State Street
We are not a large institution. We are a focused, founder-led firm where every relationship, every deal, and every dollar is treated with the care and attention it deserves.
We have spent over a decade studying the southeastern U.S. real estate landscape. That depth of knowledge — combined with active, on-the-ground presence — allows us to identify and capitalize on opportunities that larger, more distant firms simply cannot see.
Capital preservation is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of every investment decision we make. Every deal undergoes rigorous due diligence, and we never commit capital to a project we would not be proud to stand behind.
Real estate is a relationship business. Over more than a decade, we have built deep, trusted relationships with landowners, municipalities, architects, engineers, and contractors across the region — giving us access and influence that translates directly into better deals and smoother execution.
We invest our own capital alongside our partners. When our investors win, we win. This alignment is not just a talking point — it is the structural foundation of how we operate, and it drives every decision we make from acquisition through exit.
We take a patient, thoughtful approach to value creation. We are not chasing short-term gains — we are building projects that stand the test of time, deliver lasting returns for our investors, and leave a positive mark on the communities where we develop.
From the first site visit to the final delivery, our integrated, hands-on approach ensures that every project is executed with precision and accountability. We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards — because our reputation depends on it.
