FRP appoints industry veteran to bolster real estate offering

We’ve bolstered our real estate finance expertise with the appointment of industry veteran Martin Farinola as a Director.

Martin brings 25 years’ experience in real estate finance and investment, working with some of the world’s largest fund managers and lenders including Goldman Sachs, Brookfield and BlackRock.

Most recently, he was Head of Real Estate Debt Strategies at Delancey where he led the firm’s real estate debt strategy and the management of its debt investments across the portfolio. Prior to Delancey, he ran Brookfield’s European commercial real estate credit business.

In his new role, Martin will focus on expanding the our advisory capabilities across the spectrum of debt and capital solutions, supporting clients amid changing capital markets, and as lender and investor requirements evolve across the lifecycle of an asset. He will also help build our wider offering at the intersection of real estate finance and sustainability, bringing an expertise in transition planning and the financing of retrofit and regeneration strategies.

“The demand for expert, integrated advisory has never been greater in the real estate sector.

Martin’s appointment reflects our intention to broaden our scope and impact in the advisory space, while enhancing the support we can provide to our clients. We are very much looking forward to his valuable contribution to this next phase of our growth.”
