Cantor’s Matt Brody Joins Savills Studley

WASHINGTON, DC–Savills Studley has added commercial lending veteran Matt Brody to its national Capital Markets Group, which is based here. Brody has joined the firm as senior managing director and will work with Senior Managing Director Lindsay Stroud.

Brody most recently served as managing director at Cantor Commercial Real Estate, a subsidiary of Cantor Fitzgerald. He was responsible for overseeing loan production efforts for the firm’s Washington, DC, office, in addition to assisting his client base nationwide. Prior to being relocated to DC, Brody started in New York with the firm’s parent company in 2009 as one of the first hires to help launch its commercial real estate debt platform.

From 2004 to 2009, Brody held various positions in the Real Estate Finance group at Credit Suisse, where he contributed to conduit and large loan CMBS production.

All together Brody has transacted more than $10.5 billion of fixed and floating rate first mortgages and mezzanine loans, including CMBS, bridge and construction loans in the last 15 years.

“Capital Markets continues to be an active and vital piece of our business as we expand our footprint into new regions globally,” said Savills Studley Vice Chairman and Director David Lipson. Savills Studley formed its capital markets group in 2014, after recruiting Stroud, then with PRC Real Estate Investment Banking, and his colleagues to join as senior managing directors.
