Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.
A real estate investment trust that owns and runs more than 100,000 apartment units across the Southeast, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic U.S., one of the largest apartment owners in the country. It grew out of The Cates Co., an apartment management business George Cates started in Memphis in 1977, and went public as Mid-America Apartment Communities in 1994. The name is a quirk: the company felt the "Mid-America" label made people think of Kansas, so it officially rebranded to the ticker it had used for years, MAA.
