LOS ANGELES—Greg Galusha has joined Kearny Real Estate Co. as partner. Based in the firm's Los Angeles office, Galusha will focus on expanding the firm's transaction volume in the Los Angeles and Orange County region.

“I decided that capital is increasingly a commodity and that much of the value is in controlling deals rather than capital,” Galusha tells GlobeSt.com. “I have known Jeff Dritley and his team for over 15 years and respect their success through the cycles.”

Galusha is a 22-year industry veteran with experience in origination, asset management, lending, workouts, portfolio management and development. Prior to joining Kearny, Galusha served as the co-managing principal at Arris Investments. His seasoned career, however, extends much further. For a decade, he served as a partner at PCCP LLC, where he over saw more than $1 billion in joint venture equity and debt origination. Between 1997 and 2002, he was at Kearny/Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds, where he worked alongside the Kearny's founder and current managing partner Dritley.

In his role as partner, Galusha will dig into the submarkets of the Los Angeles and Orange County regions to identify market trends and investment opportunities that will expand the firm's transaction volume. Additionally, he will move into private capital sources. “My goal is to leverage the platform resources and legacy into more transactions in more markets and across the broader range of asset types and risk strategies,” he adds.
