Eastdil Secured’s broad range of services has positioned it as the partner of choice for key players in the institutional capital space. I look forward to contributing my expertise and network to help grow the firm’s lender-related business and further enhance its leadership position in the market.”
Since its founding in 2008, Eastdil Secured has closed over $100 billion in lender-assisted transactions. The firm has been particularly active in recent years, closing $7 billion in transactions since January 2023, with an additional $2.5 billion currently being marketed.
