MIAMI, Florida—August 19, 2021—Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services announces the addition of Seth Denison as Principal specializing in Capital Markets, Structured Finance, and Debt & Equity placement throughout the United States. With wide and deep knowledge of commercial real estate finance, Seth brings over 12 years of experience in private equity and capital market advisory work with an expertise in financial trends, capital structuring, and capital allocators.

Seth Denison began his career practicing law during the great financial collapse of 2008. Seth moved on from the practice of law to become the senior managing director for a boutique commercial real estate advisory firm. In this role, Seth and his team restructured over $4 Billon Dollars of CMBS loans, facilitated the assumption of over $3 Billon Dollars of commercial real estate debt, and structured over $1 Billion Dollars of commercial real estate debt and equity financing.

The onset of COVID-19 has created tremendous disruption in economies the world over. Commercial real estate finance has been dramatically impacted by this black swan event.

“CRE has been hit by the perfect storm of generational changes in property uses, excessive public debt funded by near negative bond yields, and enormous volumes of capital from a vast array of capital sources”, states Seth Denison. “Changes are occurring rapidly and the need to be hyper focused on how those changes affect an investor’s bottom line is more meaningful today than in any other time in history.”

After joining Lee & Associates as a Principal in the South Florida office, Seth Denison was requested to speak at the very prestigious Crittenden Real Estate Finance Conference on September 23, 2021. More information about the conference can be found at https://www.crittendenrealestatefinance.com/.

Lee & Associates South Florida is thrilled to be adding such an experienced and knowledgeable professional as Seth Denison at such a time in the commercial real estate industry. Lee & Associates had tremendous need for a capital markets tactician, and Seth will serve both the South Florida hub as well as the entire national Lee & Associates organization with an enviable skill set.

“Having Seth as our internal capital markets expert provides us greater visibility into bridge, construction, acquisition loans and their refinancing, and offers a universal service structure that our private and institutional customers can truly leverage to their gain,” says President of Lee & Associates South Florida, Matthew Rotolante, SIOR, CCIM.

Seth Denison is already adding value to the organization, presently working on the close of a sizeable multifamily asset in Houston, another multifamily transaction in Miami, and a retail development transaction in Ft. Lauderdale.
