RIPCO Expands Debt Platform with Two New Hires
RIPCO Real Estate has expanded its debt and structured finance team with the addition of Adam Hakim as executive managing director and James Murad as managing director. The duo brings expertise in construction financing and transitional asset debt capital markets, with recent closures exceeding $300 million in hotel bridge financing.
Previously at Meridian, the duo specialized in arranging construction financing and transitional loans in the New York metro region and Florida. Hakim and Murad have managed deals worth approximately $15 billion across property types, securing financing for condominiums, mixed-use developments, hotels, and educational institutions.
“Joining RIPCO feels like a homecoming to us. It’s a perfect fit that allows us to leverage our combined expertise in a way that feels both familiar and refreshingly innovative. We are thrilled to contribute to RIPCO’s growth trajectory and the talented team here,” said Hakim and Murad.
