Ilana Ettinger
Played a role in formulating the North Bridge-Carlyle Group $1-billion partnership
Generates opportunities to position North Bridge as a market leader
As Managing Director at North Bridge, Ilana Ettinger leads market education on C-PACE, drives firmwide growth strategies, and oversees team development. Ettinger works with the originations, underwriting, and asset management teams to align priorities and ensure operational efficiency. She also generates opportunities to expand North Bridge’s influence in commercial real estate and helps position the firm as a market leader.
Ettinger played a pivotal role in securing North Bridge’s $1-billion partnership with The Carlyle Group, the largest commitment to date for C-PACE origination. Her efforts on behalf of the partnership helped North Bridge close high-profile transactions, including the $108-million construction financing for AREA15 in Las Vegas.
She helps shape the firm’s culture, strategy and industry presence, mentors team members and contributes to business development efforts that expand North Bridge’s market footprint. Ettinger is involved with thought leadership activities, representing the firm at industry conferences, panels and client events.
In the community, Ettinger volunteers at her children’s school and has helped lead a seminar for first-generation college students through a program called Braven.
She was recently featured in NYREJ’s Women in Commercial Real Estate Spotlight for 2025 and has also been named to “Ones to Watch” by the publication.
These are just a few reasons Ilana Ettinger is among the New York & Tri-State Connect CRE 2025 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect CRE’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected leadership positions and taken on mentorship roles.
