NAI Bluestone Real Estate Capital, a Philadelphia based real estate investment banking firm, is the recipient of this year’s “Financing Deal of the Year” from the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal and was named one of the “Top 25 Financial Intermediaries” by National Real Estate Investor magazine. This marks the third consecutive year NAI Bluestone has been recognized for both honors. “These awards are a testament to NAI Bluestone’s executive team which works tirelessly to establish personal relationship with industry leaders, which ultimately enables us to make smart and lucrative deals on behalf of our clients,” said Matthew McManus, chairman, NAI Bluestone Real Estate Capital. NAI Bluestone won the Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal’s “Financing Deal of the Year” award in 2006, 2007 and 2008. This year’s award winning deal was for NAI Bluestone’s role in securing a $42 million dollar construction loan for the development of the Piazza, a 172,000 square foot mixed-use project located in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. Now completed, the Piazza boasts 156 apartment units and 28,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. NAI Bluestone has also been recognized by the National Real Estate Investor as one of the “Top Financial Intermediaries” for past three years. NAI Bluestone ranked 20th, 26th and 22nd in the country for arranged financing in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Even in 2008’s economic downturn, NAI Bluestone secured $420M in financing for various projects.
