Executive Interview with Chris LaBianca

Executive Interview with Chris LaBianca
September 17th, 2009 | Author: Dave Jacobs

Christopher LaBianca
President
RCG Longview

Christopher LaBianca joined the RCG Longview series of Real Estate Debt Funds in April of 2008 and serves as the President of their current high yield debt fund RCG Longview Debt Fund IV, L.P. His responsibilities include oversight of the origination, underwriting, closing, servicing and asset management of all fund investments. Since the inception of RCG Longview Debt Fund Series in 1999, the managers, Peter Cohen and Michael Boxer (Ramius Capital Group, LLC),Jeffrey Feil and Jay Anderson (The Feil Organization), Morton Olshan (Mall Properties), and Jon Estreich (Estreich & Company), have originated more than $1.8 billion in real estate mezzanine debt and other related instruments through RCG Longview fund vehicles. The investment strategy of the funds is driven by the collective experience of the managers as owners and operators of real estate. RCG Longview thus differentiates itself from its competition by focusing on opportunities where its experience and operational capabilities add additional value beyond financial structuring. During its ten years in business, RCG Longview has been active in practically every major US real estate market. It has made more than 350 investments secured by over $9 billion of real estate.

Hard Times in Office Space

Hard Times in Office Space
Conversation over lunch at Nocello with William E. Hartman, Executive Vice President, Cushman & Wakefield

BY ALEXEI BAYER
September 1, 2009

Who: William E. Hartman, Executive Vice President, Cushman & Wakefield
Where: Nocello, 257 West 55th Street, New York City, July 27, 2009
On the Menu: Gnocchi, salmon and real estate travails

Nocello, a midtown Italian restaurant I reserved for a lunch interview with Cushman & Wakefield's William Hartman, happens to face a long blue construction fence stretching the entire length of a city block. Behind the fence, the foundation of another huge Manhattan skyscraper looks nearly complete.
