Signs are pointing south on Interstate 95 for Arrow Real Estate Advisors<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New York brokerage founded<\/a> in late 2024 by Morris Betesh is expanding into Philadelphia and the broader mid-Atlantic region with the hire of Thomas Wayda from Greystone<\/a> as a senior director, Commercial Observer can first report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wayda was a senior managing director at Greystone specializing in non-agency loans, and prior to that was a senior vice president at Meridian when Betesh was a senior managing director there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis ability to structure complex financing solutions across market cycles makes him an exceptional addition to our capital markets platform,\u201d Betesh said in a statement. \u201cExpanding our presence in Philadelphia is an important milestone for Arrow, and Thomas is the ideal professional to lead that growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before a five-year run at Meridian from 2017 to 2022, Wayda worked on the capital markets team at Starwood Property Trust and within Wells Fargo\u2019s large loan real estate capital markets group.<\/p>\n

Wayda\u2019s new role at Arrow will involve leveraging lending relationships he has forged with banks, life insurance companies, debt funds and alternative lenders across a cross section of property sectors. He has originated or structured more than $10 billion in debt and equity deals throughout his decade-long career, according to Arrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has consistently delivered creative, execution-focused capital solutions across a wide range of asset types,\u201d Ronnie Levine, senior advisor at Arrow Real Estate Advisors, said in a statement. \u201cHis expertise and regional focus will be invaluable as we continue to expand our advisory capabilities and better serve clients throughout the mid-Atlantic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greystone did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
