Eastdil Team Joins NKF Capital Markets Group

Evan Layne, Brett Siegel and Jean Celestin have joined NKF as vice chairmen and co-heads of the New York capital markets investment sales division. All three joined from Eastdil Secured.

Siegel, Layne and Celestin have 50 years’-plus combined career experience, and have closed more than $125 billion in combined investment sales. Recent highlights include the $2-billion-plus recapitalization of 245 Park Ave., the $1.2-billion sale of Disney’s New York headquarters and the $300-million sale of Stonehenge Village Apartments.

“New York City is crucial to our Capital Markets platform with over a third of the large institutional owners of U.S. real estate based in New York,” said NKF president James Kuhn. “With the city’s top debt and structured finance practice under the same roof, the opportunities for collaboration are exponential.”

Siegel, Layne and Celestin will work in partnership with Jordan Roeschlaub and Dustin Stolly, NKF’s co-heads of capital markets debt & structured finance.
