MGO Private Wealth Welcomes V. David Russell as Managing Director and Head of Family Office Services

V. David Russell 

 

 LOS ANGELES, CA, AUG. 30, 2021 – MGO Private Wealth is pleased to announce that 

V. David Russell has joined the MGO Private Wealth team as a Managing Director and the Head of Family Office Services.

 

 He will be based in Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California.

 

Bringing experience in both private equity and private wealth management, David will concentrate on building out the firm’s multi-family office practice and investment platform.

 

 He will also be involved in growing the firm’s focus on entertainment, sports, and media professionals and increasing the focus on the distinct financial interests of affluent people of color. 

Kevin O’Connell

 “We’re excited to have David on the team,” said Kevin O’Connell, CEO and Managing Partner. “He’ll be instrumental in the expansion of our Private Client Services practice, bringing together a comprehensive suite of solutions that include private wealth management, business management, tax and lifestyle financial services.”

Prior to joining MGO Private Wealth, David was a private banker at the JPMorgan Private Bank, where he created the firm’s diverse client business initiative designed to inform, connect, and advise affluent people of color.

Robert Roman

“When your source of wealth is non-traditional, you have unique needs for financial advisory services, and trust in your advisor is essential,” Russell observes.

“For many people of color, professional athletes, and entertainers, trust isn’t automatically there with traditional financial advisors.

"I work hard to bridge that trust gap and ensure all of our clients are both fully supported in expanding their financial and social influence.

"Being at MGO Private Wealth allows me to truly serve that role for our clients, continuing to grow their generational wealth and guide those new to wealth.

Louis Barajas

"Our multi-family office structure is designed to address those needs and go beyond what a traditional wealth manager offers.”

 Outside of his financial advisory and family office practice, David is involved in multiple academic and civic organizations, serving as an adjunct professor at the M.J. Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University, a board member with Dallas Afterschool and Social Venture Partners, and an appointed member to the city of Dallas’s Public Facilities Corporation. 

 “David has a proven track record as well as extensive experience advising a wide array of clients including Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and entrepreneurs,” said Robert Roman, CEO of MGO Private Wealth.

 “His passion, innovation, and unique professional background makes him a strategic addition to our team.”

 Russell continues, “I’m excited to join Robert and Louis Barajas and the MGO Private Wealth team. 

"The MGO platform provides a deep pool of resources that will allow me to truly meet the clients where they are.

"Every client is unique and has their own stories, values, and priorities—our job is to be the conduit that helps them capitalize on that.”

JLL Capital Markets arranges $46 million bulk sale of 111 residential condominium units at 100 West 93rd Street in Upper West Side Manhattan, NY

 Maria Daou 

 

 NEW YORK, NY— JLL Capital Markets has closed the $45.625-million bulk sale of 111 condominium units at 100 West 93^rd St., a 280-unit, 301,776-square-foot residential condominium property with ground-floor retail in New York City’s Upper West Side. JLL also assisted with the financing for the buyer.

100 West 93^rd Street, Upper West Side, Manhattan, NY

JLL marketed the bulk package at the multi-housing property on behalf of the seller, ABC Properties; Aulder Capital acquired the condominium units.

 Originally built in 1973, the 29-story property was converted to a condominium property in 2006 and features a successful ground-floor retail component anchored by a Trader Joe’s.

Bob Knakal

The building is located on the southwest corner of West 93^rd St. and Columbus Ave. 

The unit mix included in the sale consists of 22 studios, 41 one-bedrooms, 33 two-bedrooms and 15 three-bedrooms.

Most of the units are located on the upper floors, offering outdoor terrace space and sweeping views of the Hudson River and Central Park West.

Capital improvements to the property include upgrades to the lobby, hallways and amenities and the addition of more than 15,000 square feet of outdoor space.

 Hall Oster

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Chairman-NY Investment Sales Bob Knakal; Managing Directors Hall Oster, Paul Smadbeck, Jonathan Hageman; Vice Presidents George D’Ambrosio and Teddy Galligan, and Associate Braedon Gait.

The financing was led by Senior Managing Director Max Herzog and Vice President Marko Kazanjian.

 “This bulk condominium package will benefit from a repositioning campaign and the activation of the second-floor outdoor amenity space,” Knakal said.

Paul Smadbeck

“The layouts and configurations present significant opportunity for renovation as the units become vacant, with the possibility of market-rate rentals or individual unit sales.”

"There is substantial pent-up demand for high-quality residential units on the Upper West Side, and recent trends show signs of a strengthening sales market," added John Reid, VP of Acquisitions at Aulder Capital.

“This is Aulder Capital's second acquisition of bulk residential condominium units and their first in Manhattan.

Jonathan Hageman

Warburg Realty and top agent Maria Daou will remain the exclusive selling agents for the new sponsor and will be resuming active sales in fall 2021.
