SAN FRANCISCO-Tribeca Cos., a San Francisco-based private equity real estate investment firm, has added Adam Aasen and Martin Walsh to its team as the company continues building operations in support of its strategies targeting Western US markets. Aasen is appointed a director of investments and Walsh was named director of private capital.

Aasen will be responsible for structuring the firm’s investments as well as maintaining the firm’s relationships within the capital markets. He has extensive real estate investment banking and structured finance experience, according to a prepared statement, and has closed more than $1 billion of debt and equity solutions across all property types.

Prior to Tribeca, Aasen worked with Highland Realty Capital and Buchanan Street Partners’ private equity funds. At Highland, he was responsible for the structuring and capitalization of new and existing debt and equity financings for developer and investor clients. At Buchanan Street Partners, he was an investment officer responsible for the origination, underwriting and execution of new joint-venture equity investment opportunities.

Walsh will oversee business development and capital-raising efforts for the firm. Prior to joining Tribeca, he worked with Goldman, Sachs & Co. After working with the firm’s investment management division in New York, he moved to San Francisco to “develop key relationships with families and companies in California,” according to a prepared statement. His principal role involved managing private capital on behalf of high net worth groups. Prior to Goldman Sachs, he worked at Allianz SE in corporate finance. 

“Adding Martin and Adam to our team continues to strengthen our core capabilities, and we’re fortunate to have such highly-experienced individuals with respected backgrounds,” says William Faidi, president and CEO of Tribeca, in a prepared statement.
