Noam Franklin
Noam Franklin is a managing director based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, responsible for leading debt and equity advisory efforts for institutional clients across the country. He specializes in capital solutions for acquisitions and development within the living sector, including market rate multifamily, student housing and build-to-rent communities. While he has advised on transactions across all major real estate asset classes, his depth of expertise and track record in the living sector is particularly distinguished. With a unique background in joint venture equity and structured capital, he brings a differentiated perspective to solving complex capital stack needs.
Prior to joining the firm, he served as senior managing director at Berkadia, where he co-founded and led the JV Equity and Structured Capital Group. Over the course of six years, he built and managed a 10-person team that became the national leader in equity advisory for the living sectors, successfully closing more than 130 transactions totaling over $7 billion in capitalization, which comprised of over 26,000 multifamily/build-for-rent units and student housing beds across 24 states. The team was known for its deep connectivity across the capital markets and its ability to execute complex joint venture, preferred equity, and platform capital transactions. Notably, the group established unique access to both domestic and international capital, having successfully completed multiple joint venture deals with first-time equity partners from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This global reach and creative structuring expertise positioned the team as a market leading advisor for institutional clients seeking tailored equity solutions.
Previously, Noam was the founder and managing principal of a boutique capital advisory firm, Central Park Capital Partners, alongside current partners Cody Kirkpatrick and Chinmay Bhatt. The company was acquired by Berkadia in 2019, forming the foundation of the nationally recognized JV Equity and Structured Capital platform. Before moving to the United States, Noam spent seven years living in Abu Dhabi working for some of the leading real estate institutions in the region and he maintains strong relationships to a wide spectrum of institutional capital in the region.
Noam holds an HBA degree from the University of Western Ontario and earned his Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) from Columbia University.
