Although the new owners of 191-193 Elm Street have a perfect right to do with their new acquisition what is best for their investment, it is not the buying, renovation, and raising rents that is the problem. It is the way the present tenants have been treated with most of the treatment employing the sudden change to provisions given to the tenants in writing which instantly cancelled the previous notifications

Clarifications were not forthcoming and when offered, it was nebulous enough to foreshadow an upcoming modification to any previous written notifications.

The other problem is that the building manager is not too truthful when speaking to the press as he has often explained the wonderful and theoretical approaches to the building and its tenants that do not match the written reality.  

The dismissive attitude is that the tenants are not informed or are incapable of seeing the difference between the written and spoken word.

Recently in a newspaper article that speculated that those buying all the property in the city were from elsewhere with no connection to the people of the city but only to its buildings, the great unwashed be damned, the building manager attempted to present a softer, kinder image of the company for which he works.

Although the newspaper established,

“TI Partners V, LLC, was incorporated in March and is the fifth such company (after TI Partners I through IV) to come into existence since 2020 under the umbrella of Terra Incognita Partners, LLC, a Pittsfield-based real estate management firm incorporated in February 2021, according to the Corporations Database of the Secretary of State’s Office”,

Mr. Osofisan, the building manager explained,

“It’s important to mention that Terra Incognita Partners is not some shadowy investment firm operating from afar. It is a one-man company and everyone I work with is from New Bedford. I am in the city every day surrounded by a diverse team of local tradespeople and design professionals, pursuing projects that present unique challenges.”

I was curious who Mr. Osofisan was, so I went to the web, entered his name, and the first thing that popped up was from ZoomInfo.

“Isaiah Osofisan is a Principal at TI Partners based in London, Greater London. Previously, Isaiah was a Director, Business Development at Auto Raptor, (a web-based Customer Relations Management (CRM) company “that helps auto dealers manage their leads, communicate with customers through text, email or telephone, and automate the sales process”, as per their home page).

His profile on Linkedin includes,

“Principal at Terra Incognita Partners LLC · Self-employed Terra Incognita Partners LLC · Self-employed Feb 2020 – Present · 2 yrs 10 mos Feb 2020 – Present · 2 yrs 10 mos Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Developer of attainable and sustainable multi-family properties in Southeastern Massachusetts.”

TI Partners, mentioned in his bios and on all written documents and is included with any web search, is described as having a twenty-year track record of success in preparing and arranging business and public/private partnerships for its clients.

This company headquartered at 75 Sydenham Hl, London, Greater London, SE26 6TQ, United Kingdom, whose phone number is +44 2082994141, and their website http://www.ti-partners.com, explains itself as having a methodology that is a ““best practice” phased approach designed to maximise the likelihood of success, following and adapting the ISO standard 44001: 2017 (collaborative business relationship management).

The steps in this process involve:

•  Identifying potential partners compatible with our client’s requirements.
• Assisting our clients to become familiar rapidly with the current strategic priorities of prospective partners.
• Facilitating access to senior decision-makers.
• Enabling our client to understand the needs of its prospective partners and vice versa
• Assisting in the preparation and presentation of proposals and responding to requests for proposals.
• Driving forward the information-exchanging, negotiating and closing process.
• Keeping our client’s Investors on board and engaged.”

This enables their clients to “set and track deliverables, manage risk, and accelerate or exit programmes which exceed or fall short of target, as circumstances change, and for the client’s professional advisors and corporate PR agency to avail themselves of the TI Partners’ complementary strategic and operational resources.”

The spelling alone let’s you know this is not a local company and their self-description shows that while he may claim his involvement is as a mere Mom & Pop, one man business, there is a Walt Disney buying Orlando spirit to all this mystery as to who is buying up New Bedford.

The English came over and took their homes away from the people living here, displaced them, and claimed everything was theirs because of divine destiny a few centuries ago, and now they are back to do it again.

This time not so overtly, but with the same forked tongue.
