FIDES Capital Partners, LLC (“FIDES”) is pleased to announce that Dan Reynolds, a respected institutional capital markets executive, has joined the Real Estate Advisory team as a Managing Director.

Mr. Reynold’s career in investment banking, debt, private equity capital markets, and strategic advisory spans over 35 years. As a senior executive with prominent firms such as LaSalle Partners/JLL, LaSalle Investment Management, and Western National Group, he originated, arranged, and championed investments from sovereign wealth funds, public and corporate pension funds, major insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and family offices. Additionally, he played the primary role in representing a wide variety of significant organizations in the evaluation, development, and implementation of their capital strategies by cultivating and maintaining senior-level relationships with active investors.

Our relationship was cultivated during my tenure as a client of FIDES, and since then, we’ve identified how our strengths complement each other.

$10 Million Preferred Equity Recap

November 23, 2023

FIDES Capital Partners, LLC ("FIDES") has been engaged as the financial advisor to the developer of a multifamily development in a strong Sunbelt market. “Our client was seeking partial liquidity on a recently completed multifamily development that was still in lease-up,” said Gregg Feldkamp of FIDES. “Given the need for capital in other under-construction projects, our client asked us to procure capital to recapitalize a portion of their interest. This was complicated by the fact our client wasn’t the sole equity source in the project and their partner was not interested in leveraging their position ratably. Our experience with complicated capital solutions distinguishes us from other capital advisory firms or mortgage banking firms. We know how to address these complex situations, as we’ve served in capacities as both lender and borrower. We are thoughtful in our approach and diligent with our execution and our client is confident that we’ll deliver when it counts.”

July 3, 2023

We then provided several options to the lender based on how our client could create value with a refreshed capital structure, that included a restructured loan. Everyone now has transparency into the decision making process.”

This engagement is emblematic of the solutions and creativity that we bring to our clients.”
