Cantor Commercial Real Estate founder and CEO Anthony Orso is joining Newmark Knight Frank as the president of capital market strategies, the company announced Wednesday.

Orso will help with the integration of Berkeley Point Capital with ARA, two companies NKF Capital Markets recently acquired, the company said. With NKF Capital Markets’ investment in CCRE, he will also act as a liaison with Cantor Fitzgerald's CMBS business.

Newmark Group CEO Barry Gosin said Orso's appointment is evidence of the company’s commitment to growing multifamily sales and related debt businesses.

"We are delighted that NKF Capital Markets has brought on board a professional of Anthony's caliber," Gosin said in a statement.
