SAN DIEGO—Berkadia says it is being joined by one of the top multifamily investment sales teams in the Western US. The additions include two managing directors, Ed Rosen and John Chu, who previously served as executive directors for Cushman & Wakefield. At Berkadia, Rosen and Chu will lead a team of three additional members in the company's newly expanded regional San Diego office. Combined their team has completed the sale of more than 80,000 units with a value in excess of more than $12 billion. Collectively the five–person team brings with them more than 70 years of multifamily sales experience.

Rosen and Chu are known as the dominant multifamily advisors in the San Diego marketplace, where they have been ranked as top producers for the past 20 years. Rosen and Chu specialize in the representation of large, institutional-sized deals and have completed sales in excess of $1.6 billion over the past 36 months.

“The addition of Ed and John demonstrates Berkadia's continued commitment to bring the best advisors to its integrated mortgage banking, investment sales and servicing platform,” said Brent Long, president of investment sales at Berkadia. “We are thrilled to welcome them to our investment sales team in San Diego as we continue to grow our presence and service offerings in the Southern California commercial real estate market.”
