WASHINGTON, DC–Dan Hawkins has joined Berkadia's Washington DC metro office as senior director in the company's the hotels and hospitality group. This is a new position for Hawkins, who joins from CBRE, in which he will work to expand the investment sales platform on a regional and national level. “My role is to shepherd all things investment sales related,” he tells GlobeSt.com. “That could include making client calls, helping with underwriting …it's a jack of all trades position.”
Hawkins joins as Berkadia is expanding its year-and-a-half old hospitality investment sales platform, Managing Director David Weymer tells GlobeSt.com. “What we are trying to do with investment sales is fully integrate it with our hospitality debt and advisor platforms, he explains. At the same time, the plan is to grow “opportunistically,” scooping up the best talent as it becomes available, he says.
The time is ripe for growth in this area given where hotels are in the cycle, Hawkins says. “There is a lot of opportunity right now; the fact is, demand is picking up nationally.” Supply, meanwhile, is a bit more constrained compared to a few years ago while money still waits on the sidelines for good deals.
Prior to joining Berkadia, Hawkins was a senior financial analyst with CBRE. He has served Washington, DC's Southwest Business Improvement District as a board member and on Intercontinental Hotel Group Owner's Association Emerging Leaders Council Executive Committee.
