LOS ANGELES-Cantor Commercial Real Estate, a commercial real estate finance company, has hired Marcus Breuer as director in the firm's credit department. The addition will expand CCRE's credit group to the West Coast. Breuer is joining the firm to locate potential real estate transaction opportunities available on the West Coast.

"With the growth of our national origination platform and expansion in floating rate and large loan products, it is critical to maintain our stringent credit discipline," says Anthony Orso, CCRE CEO. "Marcus' presence on the West Coast and his expertise in those markets will add immediate value to the team and strengthen our ability to provide top-notch service to our clients."

Breuer was formerly a director at Guggenheim Partners and a director in the Real Estate Advisory Group at Global Realty Services, and has held positions at Deutsche Bank, CIBC World Markets and Artesia Mortgage Capital Corp.

"After working together for several years at Deutsche Bank, I am excited to have Marcus on my team once again," says Michael Kaplan, the head of credit for CCRE. "Both his credit and transaction management experience will be a tremendous asset to the credit group at CCRE."

Earlier this year, CCRE also appointed Michael Kaplan to head of credit and Ari Schwartzbard to director of credit in a move to expand its credit group. CCRE's West Coast hire falls in trend with this expansion and also with other groups who have been looking to the West Coast for investment and transaction opportunities, including Regent Properties' office fund's recent first closing with $60 million in commitments.
