Meridian Capital Group is entering its 20th year as a real estate capital advisor and shows no signs of tiring—this year, it’s arranged numerous notable transactions, including the recent $220M acquisition financing for the US Steel Tower in Pittsburgh, below, and $114M financing for a NY-area multifamily portfolio owned by The Dermot Co and Principal Real Estate Investors.

Meridian founder and CEO Ralph Herzka, who’s speaking at tomorrow’s Bisnow NY Investment Summit, says it's a “simple formula” of leveraging longstanding lender relationships to benefit its clients and continuously expanding its product and service lines to anticipate its clients’ needs. Meridian's also engaged on dozens of assignments for construction financing, seniors living and other healthcare property financing, note acquisition financing, and credit facilities.
