ABOUT

ABOUT MH

 MH Vertical is a build-to-rent construction company serving the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast. Founded by Ron Yaeger and Nathan Cox, the company offers a uniquely expert perspective through its singular focus on the construction of rental projects—from single family communities to townhomes and work force housing to traditional multi-family complexes. Headquartered in Daphne, Alabama, MH Vertical is currently working on build-to-rent construction projects in Baldwin, Mobile, Escambia and Bay counties.

MH stands for Massey Hill, a neighborhood on the other side of the tracks in Fayetteville, NC, where Ron Yaeger grew up. Throughout his younger years, Ron worked construction every chance he got. He had the privilege of working alongside many talented and proud builders, masons, carpenters, welders and laborers that taught him about more than construction– they taught him the value of working hard, showing up every day, and holding each other accountable. The name, MH Vertical, is a tribute to those builders and tradesman from Massey Hill.
