Newmark announces that the firm has hired Ricky Braha, an experienced debt originator across all property types, to join its market-leading Debt & Structured Finance practice. Braha, who joins as a Senior Managing Director, will work in the New York office and report to Co-Heads of Global Debt & Structured Finance Jordan Roeschlaub and Jonathan Firestone.
“Newmark is building a Debt & Structured Finance practice led by the industry’s most talented deal makers and thought leaders. Ricky is a perfect fit with our team, having worked with many of real estate’s most sophisticated owners and operators in New York, New Jersey, Florida, California and across the country,” said Roeschlaub.
Braha brings more than a decade of experience in real estate finance and a track record of over $4 billion in debt originations. He joins Newmark after nearly 10 years at Madison Realty Capital, where he served as Director of Debt Originations. In that role, Braha led the sourcing and structuring of debt opportunities, originated loans across a range of asset classes, and played a key role in complex real estate transactions nationwide.
“We’ve had the pleasure of working across the table from Ricky, closing numerous transactions together over the better part of a decade, and we are excited to call him our partner at Newmark,” said Adam Spies, Newmark’s Co-Head of U.S. Capital Markets.
At Newmark, Braha will focus on expanding the firm’s debt origination capabilities across all property types and markets. He will work in close collaboration with Newmark’s Debt & Structured Finance and Investment Sales professionals nationwide to deliver innovative capital solutions to clients.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with both Jordan and Adam on numerous transactions over the years,” said Braha. “Their leadership, market insight and collaborative approach have always stood out. I’m excited to be part of their team and contribute to the continued growth of Newmark’s platform.”
