Seen at GreenPearl dealmaking event…
May 29th, 2009 · Event

Above: Peter West, KW Commercial, and leader of the event
The dealmaking at the Greenpearl event was fast and furious May 28th, in the clubby atmosphere downstairs at Legends. Participants offered up their deals and showed their interest in each other’s offerings by raising their hands (everyone was given a number like at an auction). At the breaks those who had made a connection–sellers, buyers and lenders–gathered to horse-trade–and for followup. Want to make a deal to get 50% on your money in 90 days? There was one out there for the taking last night. From distressed assets to performing paper, the deals abounded in all sectors and stretched from Buffalo, N.Y., to Charlotte, N.C. At least 40 deals–from $500,000 to $50 million-plus were put forward in just about 2 hours…an intense and productive night for all.
