NEW YORK CITY—Mission Capital Advisors has hired Jason Parker and Philip Justiss as directors of the debt & equity practice. Both executives will be responsible for the origination, structuring, and placement of commercial real estate capital on behalf of owners, investors, developers, family offices and private equity firms nationwide.

Previously, Parker was at Cooper-Horowitz, where he specialized in the origination and structuring of debt and equity. He also previously held positions at Hudson Realty Capital, Bear Stearns and Emigrant Savings Bank. During his time at Hudson Realty Capital, Parker originated and invested more than $300 million in opportunistic real estate transactions throughout the country.

Justiss, who formerly worked as a consultant for Mission Capital, previously served as a VP of problem loan administration at Branch Bank and Trust. He worked at Colonial Bank prior to its acquisition by Branch. In these roles, Justiss underwrote, originated and resolved more than $1 billion of commercial real estate debt.

“As we continue to expand our Debt & Equity practice, Jason and Philip will certainly be key drivers to our sustained growth,” says David Tobin, principal of Mission Capital Advisors. “With the strong market knowledge and industry experience they bring to the table, I'm confident that they will bolster the practice and deliver immediate value to our clients.”

Both Parker and Justiss will report to Tobin and Jordan Ray, managing director of the debt & equity finance group. Parker will be based in Mission's New York City office, while Justiss is working from the firm's Mobile, AL office.

“Mission Capital has built a tremendous amount of momentum in their debt & dquity practice, and I look forward to contributing to the firm's continued success and helping it increase its prominence as one of the top advisory firms in the industry,” says Parker.

Justiss adds, “There is a great deal of potential in the market today, and it's an honor to join a cutting edge firm and work alongside some of the leading names in real estate finance.”
