Paul | McCoy Family Office Services

Paul | McCoy operates from a single location in Boston's Back Bay, formed by Mark Nunnelly after a career that included serving as a director at Bain Capital. The firm's client base appears tightly clustered around a small number of families whose wealth was generated in private equity, operating businesses, and luxury consumer brands. Nunnelly's partner Denise Dupré co-owns and manages a portfolio of high-end European and Caribbean hotels, including the Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa in France and Le Barthélemy Hotel & Spa in St. Barthélemy, while Neil Mellen built the Town Fair Tire chain across New England before engaging the firm for foundation and real estate structuring. Confirmed investment types reflect the principals' direct experience: real estate, secondaries and special situations, and philanthropic or mission-related investing. The real estate exposures include the Greenwich Village mega-townhouse at 138 W. 11th Street in Manhattan, a Town Fair Tire net-lease portfolio spanning six New England states, and luxury residential units in Nashville and Boston. On the operating side, the principals own and actively manage a collection of wine and hospitality assets in France and the Caribbean — Château de la Commaraine in Pommard and a bespoke Contest 67CS yacht appear alongside the hotel properties — suggesting the family office often functions as a direct operating company for real assets. The firm's geographic footprint is concentrated in North America, with European hospitality holdings held through separate ownership structures. The firm keeps team size and aggregate deployment figures private. Additional detail exists only at the foundation level: the Mellen Charitable Foundation, Toolbox Foundation, and Town Fair Tire Foundation handle the principals' philanthropic giving. Professional network ties include the Boston Foundation's Professional Advisors Network, where team members Raj Chokhani and Coco M. Plum maintain active memberships, and an association with Innospark Ventures through the New England Venture Capital Association. Paul | McCoy's most defining structural feature is its hybrid posture — it operates as both an external multi-family office for founding-family wealth and a direct operating platform for the principals' own hospitality, real estate, and luxury-collectible investments. Most multi-family offices separate client assets from principal assets; here the investment thesis is visibly shaped by what the founders themselves build, buy, and manage, then offered as co-investment or advisory access to a small circle of families with similar operating backgrounds.
