LOS ANGELES–CBRE announced it has expanded its U.S. Debt and Structured Finance capabilities with the addition of industry veterans Mark Fluent, David Milestone, and Bill Moyer as Vice Chairs.

Based in Los Angeles, the trio brings a wealth of experience in executing complex commercial real estate financing transactions nationwide, collectively closing deals totaling more than $150 billion. Fluent and Moyer join CBRE from Deutsche Bank (DB), while Milestone joins from Newmark.

“This strategic move brings together a powerful combination of two seasoned investment bankers and an experienced debt advisor, each with unique strengths and perspectives. Their collective expertise will enhance our ability to deliver tailored debt solutions to institutional clients across the U.S.,” said James Millon, President of U.S. Debt and Structured Finance at CBRE. “Mark, Bill and David further strengthen our teams in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, providing our clients with an unrivaled capital markets offering.”

“I’m eager to reconnect with colleagues at CBRE, with whom I previously worked at Deutsche Bank. Together, we are well-positioned to enhance the value we provide to our clients, addressing their diverse capital needs and supporting their business growth,” said Fluent.

Fluent, an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, was previously Head of Originations at DB. Under his leadership, his team played a key role in establishing the firm as a market leader in CMBS origination and high-yield balance sheet/special situation loans.

During his 17-year tenure at DB, Moyer divided his responsibilities between the firm’s large loan team in New York City and overseeing originations in the Southwest as part of Fluent’s team. He has more than 25 years of industry expertise.

Milestone, with more than 20 years of industry experience, has a proven track record of originating and executing debt transactions throughout the Western U.S., primarily serving institutional clients. Earlier in his career, he played a pivotal role at Eastdil Secured, contributing to the growth of its debt platform from $4 billion to over $60 billion in annual volume.

“The opportunity to leverage our expertise and long-standing relationships alongside industry-leading talent was incredibly compelling. We look forward to providing our clients with the full advantages of the CBRE platform,” said Milestone.
