NAI Bluestone’s Matthew McManus Hired as Senior Director at Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11, 2011 – Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation (MMCC) has hired Matthew McManus (top right photo), formerly of NAI Bluestone Real Estate Capital LLC, as a senior director, according to William E. Hughes (top left photo), senior vice president and managing director of MMCC.

NAI Bluestone, a Philadelphia-based commercial real estate finance firm, brings a team of finance professionals led by Matthew McManus.

 “The collaborative culture created by McManus mirrors our own approach to arranging and structuring all types of commercial real estate financing,” says Hughes. “Bluestone’s executives work together to provide capital markets solutions that not only meet, but exceed the expectations of borrowers and lenders, making Matt a natural fit with MMCC.”

MMCC’s Philadelphia office will have a team of seven originators and support staff, including Bluestone’s former head, McManus. Joining him from NAI Bluestone are Kristopher Wood, John Banas, Matthew Rosenberg, Garrett Miller, Patricia Henne and Suzanne Moses.

“Clear synergies exist between the former Bluestone team and MMCC, and we’re very excited to begin working together,” says Spencer Yablon (middle right photo), vice president and regional manager of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services’ Philadelphia office.

 “Because of Matt’s 18-year tradition of providing superior client service and in-depth knowledge of the capital markets, the Bluestone addition will unquestionably enhance our agents’ ability to arrange property sales throughout the Philadelphia region.”

McManus says MMCC’s national platform, track record and breadth of financial services capabilities were appealing.

“Joining forces with a likeminded company that brings a tradition of strong leadership and in-depth investment and financing expertise to the table makes strategic sense for my team,” says McManus.

“Marcus & Millichap’s nationwide network of finance professionals, investment sales agents and its Research Services division will assist us in providing superior results for our clients. By utilizing the infrastructure and resources that MMCC has to offer, we will be able to aggressively source funds to find the best capital fit for each client.”

In 2010, MMCC closed nearly $1 billion in commercial real estate loans for a total of 451 transactions.
