CHICAGO—Greystone, a New York-based firm that provides multifamily and healthcare mortgage loans, has just hired Steve Cho as a Chicago-based managing director. He will report to Robert Russell, head of production for Greystone's CMBS group. In his new role, Cho will focus on establishing a stronger CMBS presence for Greystone in the central states through Texas.
"Steve will serve as an incredible complement to our growing origination team in the central region, as we see a tremendous amount of CMBS transaction opportunity building there," Russell says.
"Greystone is focused on the Midwest because property cap rates are at levels where CMBS debt is accretive to borrowers,” Cho tells GlobeSt.com. Furthermore, “2005, 2006 and 2007 vintage CMBS will all need to be refinanced.
