MIAMI—Beech Street Capital and Multi Housing Advisors (MHA) are teaming up to offer multifamily investors what they are calling a competitive advantage. Will it shake up the commercial real estate financing industry?

Here's how it works: Beech Street's clients gain direct access to local broker intelligence. MHA's clients gain direct access to capital markets, providing a more efficient transaction process.

“With the level of competition for attractive properties at record levels, there is a real need among investors for a single source of authoritative market, product, and capital intelligence,” says Marc Robinson, a managing partner of MHA in the firm's Charlotte, N.C., office. “This agreement between Beech Street and MHA meets that need perfectly.”
