Institutional asset management for independent owners

Run your portfolio like an institution, without building the team.

Your loans refinanced on time, your buildings leased, and your lenders and investors confident in how the portfolio is run. You get a senior head of asset management and capital markets on a monthly retainer or by project, for a fraction of a full-time hire.

Who it's for

For owners who don't have an institutional team behind them

Private owners and families

Your portfolio has outgrown the property manager's reports, but a full-time head of asset management doesn't make sense yet. Get senior oversight without adding to payroll.

Sponsors with investors and lenders

You're managing several loans and investors who expect institutional reporting. Get the reporting, lender relationships and steady communication that keep their trust.

Family offices

Get a seasoned second opinion on major leases, capital projects, lender requests and hold or sell decisions, with lender and investor reporting handled for you.

I live in Bethesda, Maryland, with my wife and daughter. Outside work, I'm an avid soccer fan, and I bike, travel, play music and work at being the best husband and dad I can be.

Case studies

Situations you may be facing, and how they were solved

A tenant leaving, a loan coming due, tight credit, distressed assets.

Leasing and capital markets

Avoiding 70% vacancy at 450 Lexington Avenue, New York

Situation: The major tenant planned to leave when its lease rolled, which would have left the building about 70% vacant. The loan matured shortly before that lease expired.
What I did: Worked with the tenant, the lender and the investors at the same time, and closed all three in under nine months. Led the multi-year renewal alongside the in-house leasing team, backed by a major $300 million+ renovation over five years. Refinanced the existing loan at very favorable rates and secured new equity from existing institutional investors to pay for the renovation.
Result: A 700,000 sq ft renewal, New York's largest office lease of 2023 and a milestone for the city's office market in a difficult year. The building stayed leased, the $250 million loan was refinanced and $300 million of new equity is funding the renovation.

Asset management

Turning around a 200+ asset portfolio

Situation: A portfolio of 200+ net lease assets at 45% occupancy, collecting 60% of rent.
What I did: Rebuilt broker relationships and tenant screening, overhauled collections with new reporting dashboards, and marked expiring leases to market.
Result: Occupancy to 75% in two years, collections to 95%+, and 50%+ average rent increases on 80%+ of expiring leases.

Capital markets

Raising $1.25 billion of debt in a challenging market

Situation: Acquisition financing for a growing portfolio in a challenging capital markets environment, with capital work and leasing costs still to fund.
What I did: Brought in some of the largest lenders in the country and structured each loan to fund the business plan.
Result: $1.25 billion+ closed within one year, when financing was hard to come by. Backing from some of the market's most selective lenders was a strong vote of confidence in the portfolio and its business plan.

Restructuring

Restructuring and recapitalizing through 2023

Situation: Loans across the portfolio to restructure, and distressed assets that needed new equity to lease up.
What I did: Led 80%+ of the firm's 2023 restructurings. Negotiated 5-year senior loans at 5–6% and mezzanine at 8%, very favorable rates in a rising-rate market with heavy economic uncertainty, built in future funding and secured new equity.
Result: $1.5 billion+ restructured in one year, including the $1.2 billion senior and mezzanine refinancing of 1285 Avenue of the Americas; five assets stabilized at 98%+ leased.

Portfolio leadership

Leading an $8 billion portfolio

Situation: An $8 billion, 12 million+ sq ft office, residential and hotel portfolio, with partners, investors and lenders to report to.
What I did: Led a 12-person team plus in-house and third-party property managers. Built a portfolio-wide budgeting and reporting process, owned business plans and P&L, and led hold, sell and refinancing decisions.
Result: 10 dispositions totaling $500 million+; $1 billion+ of loan financing, including an $850 million six-bank credit facility; support on $3 billion+ of new investments.

Results were achieved in prior roles, including as part of the teams at CIM Group and RXR.
