HFF expanded its team with the addition of Rick Salinas as a director focused on multi-housing debt and equity placement transactions in its San Francisco office. Salinas brings more than 15 years of experience in commercial real estate finance, and joins HFF from Berkadia where he was a senior director in its Mortgage Banking office focused on multifamily loan production in the Western region with an emphasis on GSE, life company and bridge lending.
