Eastdil Duo Joins CushWake’s Capital Markets Team

Cushman & Wakefield has bolstered its capital markets team in Chicago with the additions of Jeff Altenau as executive managing director and Zach Yarnoff as managing director.

Both come to Cushman & Wakefield from Eastdil Secured, where they worked on notable transactions including Willis Tower, River Point, 150 North Riverside, Easton Town Center and Wells Fargo Center Minneapolis.

A 20-year capital markets veteran, Altenau will lead the firm’s debt capital markets platform for Chicago and the Midwest. Yarnoff will partner with Altenau in growing the company’s business and execution of large, highly complex structured real estate financings along with middle market financings across all asset types and service lines.

“Jeff and Zach are the last piece of the puzzle adding a new capability to the firm’s Chicago Capital Markets team,” said Vicki Noonan, Chicago managing principal, Cushman & Wakefield. The Chicago office recently added David Knapp and Josh McGee.
