Anthony Cinquini Joins Berkadia's L.A. Office

LOS ANGELES-Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC has hired Anthony Cinquini as a SVP in the company's Los Angeles office. He will report to Ed Zimbler, SVP and Los Angeles branch manager.

Cinquini brings 30 years of industry experience to Berkadia's loan-originations team, specializing in FHA and Fannie Mae structured facilities as well as financing for taxable and tax-exempt bond executions.

“I'm pleased to join an organization of Berkadia's depth and stature,” says Cinquini. “I look forward to assisting Berkadia and its affiliated entities by leveraging its national network to find solutions for all of our clients' evolving business needs.”

Most recently, Cinquini served as senior managing director for more than 20 years at Red Capital Group, where he originated, structured and closed over $8.2 billion representing more than 500 transactions of taxable and tax-exempt financings including many large Fannie Mae credit facilities and FHA transactions. His notable accomplishments include the largest 221(d) ever completed to date ($193 million) and structuring a $1.3-billion single credit facility with Fannie Mae.

Cinquini also maintains ongoing advisory, lending and investment-banking relationships with many large national REITs as well as other national multifamily owners and operators. Prior to that, he spent time at a small West Coast investment bank that specializes in underwriting tax-exempt multifamily bonds and securing credit enhancement.

 “Anthony's proven track record for originating, structuring and closing transactions is a great asset, not only to the Los Angeles office, but the entire company,” says Zimbler. “His knowledge of structuring credit facilities using tax-exempt and taxable credit-enhancement products and solutions deepens our already robust service offerings and expertise. We look forward to our contributions to our existing and future clientele.”

Hugh Frater, CEO of Berkadia, adds that the addition of Cinquini to the firm's mortgage-banking team “will be a tremendous value-add to present and future clients alike. He brings with him considerable knowledge and expertise of highly specialized financing products, and it was an easy decision to invite him on board.”

As GlobeSt.com reported earlier this month, the New York office of Berkadia Commercial Mortgage has closed three loans totaling $57.9 million for multifamily properties located in Massachusetts, Washington and California.
