McQuaide Holdings LLC is owned and operated by Tara McQuaide and Lauren Thomas, a married team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our company was built from firsthand experience as property owners, operators, and hospitality leaders.

Before becoming a landlord, Tara worked in digital strategy roles across marketing agencies and in house SaaS and technology companies. Frequent travel for work provided firsthand exposure to what traveling professionals expect from short and mid term housing.
