Evan Kinne and Ed Steffelin, who operate out of George Smith Partners’ Los Angeles office, closed 12 transactions totaling $222 million in loans during 2022.

One of the team’s most notable deals involved $23 million in construction financing and a $9.8 million equity placement for a 108-unit build-to-rent community in Charlotte, NC. The site is located seven miles from downtown Charlotte and less than two miles from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

Another notable closing involved a $14.4-million land acquisition financing arrangement for a future build-to-rent project in Austin, TX. The land will eventually home 368 BTR units.

These are some of the reasons we selected Evan Kinne and Ed Steffelin for inclusion in the 2023 Connect CRE Top Mortgage Brokers and Lenders Awards. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest commercial real estate finance standards.
