NEW YORK CITY—Holliday Fenoglio Fowler has hired Scott Aiese as a managing director here. Formerly with Massey Knakal Realty Services—which became Cushman & Wakefield—he will focus on debt and equity placement transactions in the greater New York City area.

Aiese has more than nine years of experience in commercial real estate finance. At Cushman, he was a managing director in the capital services division and closed more than $550 million of transactions for his clients. He joined Massey Knakal to help establish its capital services business in 2011.

Prior to this role, he was a VP in Bank of America Merrill Lynch's commercial real estate banking division, which focused on syndicated balance sheet transactions ranging from $15 million to $1.2 billion. He began his career as an analyst in the same group at Bank of America, N.A.

Additionally, Alex Staikos is joining HFF as a real estate analyst supporting the debt team. He too comes from Cushman, in the title of senior associate.

“The additions of Scott and Alex are consistent with HFF's growth plans and will help us continue to grow market share in New York for many years to come,” says Michael Tepedino, senior managing director and co-head of HFF's New York office.
