Number of years at firm: 7

One thing on my bucket list: Visit Egypt – the pyramids and hieroglyphs are fascinating, and I would love to travel and see them myself.

What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? Over the course of my career at Lionheart, I’ve originated and assisted on almost $1.4 billion of loans, which I’m very proud of. Each loan has been unique as they’re in different high-growth markets that we are drawn to for their respective fundamentals and demographics, like Miami, Nashville, Salt Lake City and more. Recently, one I’m particularly proud of was the $229,400,000 loan at 108 Leonard in New York in which we were the mezzanine loan provider. It was an extremely interesting loan to work through especially given the current state of the New York condo market.

What makes this nominee a RISING STAR?

“Jake has been involved with the organization since its early days and can originate complex transactions from across the United States and with some of the largest senior lenders in the market. He’s been an integral part of growing our firm and expanding our originations.” - Sebastian Post, Managing Director & Co-Head of Investments at Lionheart Strategic Management LLC

When I am not working, I am: Traveling. I do my best to explore as many places as I can and am constantly brainstorming new places I haven’t been to!
