April 12, 2010, New York, NY – Meridian Capital Group, LLC, one of the nation’s largest commercial real estate mortgage brokerages, announced today the addition of Marty Lanigan (top right photo) as Senior Managing Director of Origination and Strategic Initiatives.
Mr. Lanigan will be responsible for overseeing the company’s origination efforts nationally and implementing key strategic initiatives designed to enhance Meridian’s product and service capabilities. He will report to Ralph Herzka, (middle left photo) Meridian’s President and CEO.
Mr. Lanigan joins Meridian at a pivotal point in its history and strategic growth plan. Meridian, founded by Mr. Herzka in 1991, has placed more than $100 billion in commercial real estate debt since its inception, assuming an undisputed position as a national market leader in commercial real estate mortgage finance.
In his new role, Mr. Lanigan will work to leverage Meridian’s existing platform by expanding both the company’s production capacity and the breadth of its lending products.
“What attracted me most about Meridian is the opportunity to build on the enormous accomplishments that Ralph and his team have made to date,” said Mr. Lanigan. “The challenge of continuing the firm’s ambitious tradition and further developing its reach, expertise and capabilities is especially exciting at a time when many others are retrenching or maintaining a defensive position.”
“This is a very exciting time in the growth curve for Meridian. By adding new key team members like Marty, we are positioning Meridian to become the leading U.S. commercial real estate mortgage finance company,” added Herzka.
