ATLANTA—In a move to strengthen its East Coast coverage, Moran & Company has hired a new regional partner: Sean Henry. Henry previously served as a principal with Apartment Realty Advisors (ARA).

While at ARA, Moran closed more than $6 billion in multifamily transactions with many of the top public and private pension plans, REITS, private capital and co-mingled discretionary funds. Prior to ARA, he worked as an acquisitions officer for both GID and Lend Lease Real Estate Investments. During his 10-year tenure as an acquisitions officer for pension fund advisory firms, he was responsible for the closing of $1.5 billion in transactions.

With the addition of Henry and his team, Moran now has seven regional offices across the country in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Irvine, Seattle, Washington, DC, and two satellite offices in Phoenix and Houston. Over the past 18 months, the firm closed 81 transactions.
