TruAmerica Multifamily, a leading multifamily investment firm based in Los Angeles, has announced the launch of its new structured finance vertical. This strategic initiative will complement their flagship value-add investment platform and is part of the company’s continued growth. To lead this effort, TruAmerica has appointed Ash Baraghoush as senior managing director. This follows the successful launch of their affordable housing vertical in mid-January.
The structured finance vertical will utilize TruAmerica’s national presence to offer preferred equity and mezzanine debt options for multifamily properties. These offerings aim to meet market demand during a time of increased interest rates and capital markets instability.
“We are excited to have Ash join our team during such an exciting time for TruAmerica,” said Robert Hart, president & CEO of TruAmerica. “His expertise in structured finance will allow us to expand our platform and create new opportunities that benefit both our investment strategies and the communities we serve.”
Baraghoush joins TruAmerica from Pacific Urban Investors where he had extensive experience developing and managing structured finance platforms. Prior to his role at Pacific Urban, he spent three years at Ares Management.
