Avison Young has bolstered its capital markets group in New Jersey with the addition of Matthew Schnürr as a principal.
The real estate services firm said Schnürr, who is based in its Morristown office, joins its team with more than three decades of experience in equity, debt and structured finance transactions across all major asset classes and having participated in more than $31 billion in commercial real estate sales, $6 billion in structured finance and $8 billion in debt placements. In his new role, he’ll focus on expanding Avison Young’s capital markets capabilities, with a particular emphasis on complex financial and institutional joint ventures.
“Matthew’s leadership and deep expertise in financial restructuring, nonperforming loans and REO sales strengthen our ability to help clients navigate today’s evolving capital markets,” said Marion Jones, principal and executive managing director of the firm’s U.S. capital markets group. “His appointment underscores our commitment to top talent and innovative solutions in a rapidly changing environment.”
Prior to Avison Young, Schnürr was co-head of the Transwestern New York structured finance platform, according to a news release. Earlier in his career, he held roles with Grubb & Ellis in the firm’s institutional investment group, with CB Commercial as a member of its institutional services group and with Drexel Burnham Lambert in its corporate finance department.
“I’m excited to join Avison Young during such a pivotal time in the growth of its capital markets platform,” Schnürr said. “The firm’s collaborative culture, entrepreneurial mindset and deep commitment to client service align with the values that have shaped my career. I look forward to contributing to Avison Young’s continued success and helping clients achieve their goals in today’s dynamic capital markets environment.”
Eric Stone, Avison Young principal and New Jersey managing director, added: “Matthew brings a rare combination of institutional experience, creative structuring expertise, and a deep understanding of capital markets dynamics. His track record speaks for itself, and his addition will significantly enhance our ability to deliver value to our clients across all asset classes and transaction types.”
