CBRE boosts debt and structured finance team with senior appointment in N.J.

CBRE said on Monday that Matthew Pizzolato joined the firm’s New Jersey office as senior vice president on its debt and structured finance team. He will collaborate with CBRE’s national capital markets platform.

“Matt is a welcomed addition to our already market-leading debt and structured finance team in the region,” said Will Forcello, senior managing director and New Jersey market leader for CBRE. “Working closely with our national capital markets team, we look forward to expanding this business throughout New Jersey and the region.”

Pizzolato brings more than a decade of experience in commercial real estate finance to CBRE, having successfully capitalized over $6.5 billion in transactions. He joins CBRE from Accordia Realty, where he was head of acquisitions and capital markets. In that role, Pizzolato led the firm’s strategic expansion into the Southeast, sourcing industrial properties across the Carolinas, securing financing, and forging institutional partnerships.

“We wish Matt all the best in his new role at CBRE,” said Jason Bogart, principal at Accordia Realty. “Matt is a veteran in the debt and equity space and will thrive in that environment.”

Prior to Accordia Realty, Matt spent nine years with JLL Capital Markets (formerly HFF) in its New Jersey office where he served as a managing director and was part of the debt and equity placement team.
