The company has launched a new technology startup funding division, Currency M, which just made its inaugural move with a capital investment in full-service painting concierge platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paintzen.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Paintzen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Moinian Group\u2019s expansion into the technology investment arena is a sign of the times. According to Mitchell Moinian, senior vice president with Moinian Group, the establishment of Currency M is a reaction to the information revolution and the crucial role technology plays in the modernization of existing systems. \u201cCurrency M was founded to garner the connection between what we do\u2014own and develop real estate\u2014with the cutting edge technology that will be utilized or applied to it in the limitless ways it can be,\u201d Moinian told CPE.<\/p>\n<p>Moinian Group is remaining mum on the amount of capital it invested in Paintzen, which was founded in 2013. Paintzen describes its platform as \u201cthe easiest way to get your home or office expertly painted.\u201d The company offers an online portal that allows users to obtain quotes, order paint and supplies, and pay for services with a licensed team of professionals in one fell swoop. It\u2019s a one-stop virtual painting shop for commercial and residential tenants and owners alike. With the new partnership in place, occupants of Moinian Group&#8217;s New York-area luxury residential properties will be able to avail themselves of Paintzen services at a reduced rate, and new tenants will be presented with a move-in package that includes color palette advice from Paintzen designers. From Moinian Group\u2019s perspective, Paintzen is a valuable business tool for the real estate firm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPartnerships with companies like Paintzen are incredibly important for commercial and residential tenant attraction and retention,\u201d Moinian said. \u201cThe \u2018on-demand economy\u2019 continues to become an even more integral part of our everyday lives, especially here in New York City, and its crucial for developers to explore how they can incorporate these types of trends into amenity packages. In order to stay competitive, we have to keep thinking outside the box, which is what drove me to launch Currency M\u2014it enables Moinian to stay ahead of the curve and not only partner with, but help shape, some of the most innovative companies coming to market today.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CRE veteran&#8217;s new tech funding arm has made its first move with an investment in Paintzen, a paint concierge platform that&#8217;s changing the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1269,"featured_media":1004135362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21783,23891,1600,21742,10,21787],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004135332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-investment","category-national","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-technology"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
