Maynard with Newmark Structures Billions in Multifamily Debt Across the Southeast
James Maynard is a Managing Director with Newmark’s Debt & Structured Finance Group in the Tampa, Florida office. His primary responsibility is originating multifamily financing in the Southeast, with capital sources including banks, debt funds, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, and life insurance companies.
Maynard has played an integral role in structuring over $9 billion of debt financing for multifamily developments, acquisitions, refinances, and portfolio recapitalizations on behalf of the firm’s institutional clients.
Notable deals include arranging $235 million in acquisition financing for 406 townhome-style units in Greenwich, CT, through Wells Fargo; placing an $18.6-million acquisition loan for two multifamily communities at Elon University; and arranging $37.2 million in Freddie Mac financing for Hidden Lakes Apartments.
Beyond his day-to-day responsibilities, Maynard mentors junior professionals. He participates in company initiatives focused on process improvement, collaboration, business development strategy, and strengthening relationships across internal teams and external capital providers.
Maynard believes in giving back to the community and supporting organizations that create opportunities for others. He participates in various charitable initiatives, local community events and fundraising efforts.
These are just a few reasons we chose James Maynard as one of Connect CRE’s Florida & Gulf Coast Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
