SAN FRANCISCO—Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, a division of BGC Partners Inc., recently announced that it acquired the assets of Regency Capital Partners. The real estate capital advisory firm is headquartered in San Francisco and led by Ramsey Daya and Jonathan Soffer.
Regency Capital is regarded for specialized financing for clients with extensive experience in joint ventures, construction debt and permanent financings across all property types, with a specific focus on structured debt and equity for large-scale office and multifamily developments. Daya and Soffer, who join NGKF Capital Markets as vice chairmen, and the Regency team will work closely with Steven Golubchik and Grant Lammersen, co-heads of capital markets for Northern California at NGKF.
“We started the company 12 years ago and initially expected to remain independent,” said Daya. “However, NGKF's capital markets business is growing at such an impressive pace that we felt there would far more opportunities for our boutique operation with local expertise to thrive as part of a national full-service platform like NGKF.”
