Accordia Realty Ventures has tapped Matthew Pizzolato as its executive vice president for acquisitions and capital markets, in a key hire aimed at supporting its expansion plans.
Pizzolato, a veteran broker, joins the Fairfield-based firm with the goal of growing its portfolio through strategic acquisitions in the Northeast, Southeast and other key markets across the U.S., according to a news release. He’ll now oversee Accordia’s capital markets functions, including financing strategy and capital sourcing for all acquisitions and developments, while serving as the primary relationship manager with the firm’s key investment partners.
“Matt’s expertise and background in acquisitions and capital markets make him an invaluable asset to the explosive growth of our organization,” said Jason Bogart, a principal with Accordia. “We are excited to welcome him to the leadership team.”
Pizzolato most recently spent nine years with JLL and the HFF capital markets team that it acquired in 2019, serving as a managing director with the Morristown-based debt and equity placement group, the news release said. He has also held roles at Deutsche Bank and Prudential Financial, where he developed his finance and leadership skills.
Accordia added that Pizzolato has facilitated more than $6 billion in transactions during his career.
“With over a decade of experience in the commercial real estate industry, I’ve gained a deep knowledge of — and a unique appreciation for — New Jersey’s many opportunities for smart investment,” Pizzolato said. “I’m looking forward to leveraging my experience to grow Accordia’s Northeast and East Coast presence.”
With Accordia, Pizzolato joins the team that will help expand the firm’s footprint, as it looks to continue creating and developing mixed-use projects that help bring value to aging areas.
“Matt’s experience, impressive track record and deep knowledge of East Coast real estate markets make him the perfect fit for Accordia as we expand our presence from North Jersey right down to the Sun Belt region,” Bogart added.
