ATLANTA-Gary Saykaly is the latest talent to jump on board the Cushman & Wakefield train. Saykaly has joined the firm’s Southeast Capital Markets Group in Atlanta as a senior director. Saykaly comes to CushWake from BridgePointe Advisors, where he was a managing director. BridgePointe could not immediately be reached for comment.

In his new role, Saykaly will serve as the leader of the Southeast retail investment sales platform outside of Florida and as a member of the firm’s National Retail Investment Group. He will work closely with CushWake’s Sonnenblick Goldman’s debt and equity specialists in Atlanta to offer Southeast clients customized investment and capital solutions including investment sales, joint ventures, debt and equity financing throughout the capital stack, note sales and customized monetization strategies.

“There is so much capital on the core side,” Saykaly tells GlobeSt.com. “That the capital is now focusing beyond gateway markets to include secondary markets. You are going to see more money getting placed. Owners who were not selling are taking advantage of this market and selling into this market. You are going to see more portfolio situations because this is a great time to jump back in the market.”
