In his role as senior director and senior vice president for Northmarq, James Currell originates and structures debt and equity solutions for commercial real estate clients. He is a strategic advisor throughout the capital stack, helping clients navigate complex transactions from underwriting through closing.
Notable deals include arranging the $148.5-million construction completion and lease-up refinancing for a 40-story tower in downtown San Diego on behalf of Diamond Realty Investments, Mitsubishi’s U.S. real estate investment arm. Currell also secured an equity partner to acquire a distressed note backed by raw land in Phoenix, AZ.
Within Northmarq, Currell has been on the Producers Council, which is reserved for the firm’s top 10% of producers. He is committed to mentoring junior professionals and participates in hiring decisions for the Dallas office.
