HFF Dallas hires Troy Manson as managing director to focus on student housing transactions



 DALLAS, TX – HFF announced today that Troy Manson (top right photo) has joined the firm as a managing director in its Dallas office.  Mr. Manson will work alongside managing director Brian Kelly (top left photo) in HFF’s Chicago office to handle student housing sales nationally.

Mr. Manson has more than nine years of experience in student housing investments and operations and has been involved in nearly $1 billion of student housing transactions. 

He joins HFF from Halyard Ventures, where he was the managing principal and founder.

 “Having producers in both Chicago and Dallas that focus solely on student housing will allow HFF to further penetrate into a marketplace that we believe has tremendous momentum and economic viability,” said Jody Thornton (middle right photo), executive managing director in HFF’s Dallas office.

“In 2011, HFF closed more than $756 million in investment sales, structured finance and debt financing in the student housing space, an impressive 347 percent increase over the prior year. 

"We are very excited to have Troy join our existing student housing team,” said Matthew Lawton (lower left photo), co-head of HFF’s national multi-housing group.
