Maple Drake Austell Holdings LLC

City-funded organization

A real estate LLC whose single NYC contract is a $31 million Housing Preservation and Development license agreement, "License Agreement for Emergency Shelter for Asylee Seeker," tagged "Negotiated (real-property/other)" on Checkbook NYC, a non-competitive award (100% of the vendor's $31 million in all-time city awards falls in that category). The vendor's name echoes Austell Place in Long Island City, Queens, a former vacant office building that HPD stood up in 2023 as one of the city's Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers for asylum seekers, initially housing up to 330 men with plans to expand toward 1,000. No further corporate identity beyond that name match and the Checkbook contract record could be independently verified.
