Call him real estate's LeBron Jamesat 34, CBRE's Brian Eisendrath is proving age is nothing but a number. He was just named the youngest vice chairman in the CRE Goliath's history, and he closed a $220M financing deal. (Just don't ask him to buy beer for you--not because he's too young--it's just rude to ask.)

We visited Brian in his West LA office, where he specializes in debt and equity finance for multifamily real estate nationwide. The $220M deal was a large portfolio of four assets located in Manhattan, Dallas, LA, and San Diego. Brian negotiated a waiver on the prepayment penalty, saving clientTIAA-CREFa bundle, as well as lower annual interest on new 10-year, fixed-rate debt. Brian originated $1.1B last year and expects to do $1.5B this year. For trading activity, he says the hottest markets are Denver, Phoenix, and Dallas. (Coastal cities declined our request for comment.)
