  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) May 25, 2011 - Hudson Realty Capital LLC's Perry Freitas, vice president/due diligence, has been named among the commercial real estate industry's 10 "Stars to Watch." The 31-year-old was acknowledged for his involvement in determining the viability and profitability of Hudson's more than $3.5 billion in investments.

    Freitas joined the Manhattan-based real estate fund manager as an analyst at its inception in 2003. Two years later, he was named an assistant vice president and then promoted to vice president in 2007. He also was appointed asset manager for a 1.5-million-square-foot industrial property in the southeast.

    "Perry possesses superior underwriting and due diligence competencies that have been integral to his own and Hudson's success," said Spencer Garfield, managing director. "He has rapidly risen through our company and industry ranks by demonstrating exceptional efficiency, integrity and transparency."

    Hudson has emerged as a niche middle-market capital provider with more than $2 billion of assets currently under management. The company focuses on originating, purchasing, participating in, servicing and restructuring high-yield, special-situation debt. In addition, Hudson acquires under-performing assets and other real estate-related instruments.

    Freitas' analytical, modeling and projection skills have contributed toward Hudson's calculated risk-adjusted returns. In addition to overseeing the company's equity and debt investments, he is actively involved in complex negotiations for financing and multi-phase development assets, monitoring equity partnership goals and ensuring optimal asset performance.

    Most recently, Freitas underwrote, negotiated and closed a $33 million distressed note secured by 109 partially completed age-restricted condominium units in Clifton, N.J. and a $2.35 million first mortgage on entitled land with retail in Austin, Texas. During the past several months, Hudson's activities have included new bridge loan originations, discounted payoff financing and third-party debt acquisition financing. The company also is active in large loan-portfolio acquisitions and asset management activities, the latest of which was the purchase of an FDIC portfolio containing 109 commercial real estate assets.

    "Just as Hudson has grown and expanded during the past eight years, so have my opportunities for professional and personal development," said Freitas, who graduated from Marist College with a bachelor's of science degree. "My goal is to become even more diversified and knowledgeable in every facet of commercial real estate, from originating new business and fundraising to investor relations."

    Based in Manhattan, with regional offices in Portland, Maine and Fort Myers, Florida, Hudson is a Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) certified by the Empire State Development Agency. Hudson has been named among the New York Area's largest privately held companies and largest minority owned companies, as well as one of the Top 25 lenders nationally.
