Fifield Companies Hires Head of Asset Management 

Chicago-based Fifield Companies has hired commercial real estate finance leader Alex Walenta as EVP and head of asset management. 

“With nearly two decades of experience in the multifamily sector, Alex joins Fifield with deep expertise in everything from asset and portfolio management to acquisitions, dispositions, financing and mixed-use development,” said Erin Spears, president of Fifield. “The versatility of her background dovetails perfectly with the Fifield formula of engaging top talent who have the know-how and desire to be involved in every aspect of the development process.” 

Walenta spent more than six years at Goldman Sachs, most recently as VP of multifamily asset management in the firm’s Dallas office. During her time at Goldman Sachs, she oversaw more than $7 billion of multifamily real estate and led dispositions of over $3.14 billion. Prior to Goldman, Alex began her career with Archon Group and then spent time at Equity Residential and UDR.
