CRE Finance Veteran Matthew Downs Joins Greystone

Matthew Downs has joined Greystone as a managing director on the CMBS lending team, reporting to Robert Russell. He’ll originate CMBS, agency and balance sheet loans for clients nationwide.

Downs brings to Greystone 15 years of CRE lending experience, and joins the firm from MonticelloAM LLC, where he served as head of CRE originations. Prior to Monticello, Downs was a regional VP in the real estate investment group at Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULLICO) where he was responsible for originating, negotiating and structuring fixed rate permanent loans and floating rate construction loans in the Northeast.

“Greystone’s platform provides an opportunity to work across a range of debt platforms, asset classes, and industry verticals, all of which can be complemented and enhanced by CMBS structures,” said Downs. ‘I look forward to working with Rob and the Greystone team as Greystone experiences a surge in loan demand.”
