Shaun Riney and Andrew Bronsteen sit down with Greg Fournier, Managing Principal of Greenbrook Partners, for a rare inside look at how one of Brooklyn’s most active real estate operators scaled from a single $10 million deal into a vertically integrated platform with 150 employees and more than $1.5 billion of equity deployed.

Greg breaks down Greenbrook’s evolution from raising money from friends and family to building institutional partnerships, managing hundreds of buildings, and recently completing a $486 million Freddie Mac refinance across a large Brooklyn multifamily portfolio. The conversation dives into the realities of scaling operations, hiring the right people, using data to track rent trends and migration patterns, and why Greenbrook remains bullish on Brooklyn neighborhoods like Greenpoint and Clinton Hill.

The episode also explores value-add versus core strategy, scattered-site portfolio management, middle-market opportunities, regulatory diligence, and why New York’s complexity continues to create opportunity for experienced operators.

Seth Glasser and Matthew Gault sit down with Moshe Bloorian, founder and managing partner of Grey Hill Group, to discuss how he started in real estate from scratch in 2017 and scaled into a platform with over $300 million in assets under management across multifamily and industrial properties in secondary and tertiary markets. Moshe explains why he prioritizes in-place cash flow, avoids bridge loans, and structures long-term debt—plus how Gray Hill evaluates markets, cap rates, vacancy, and downside risk when rents flatten. Matt adds a Hudson Valley/Westchester lens, including what he’s seeing with Good Cause Eviction and rent growth north of the City.

Shaun Riney and Seth Glasser sit down with Leo Jacobs, a nationally recognized restructuring and business litigation attorney. Leo breaks down what the landmark Pinnacle portfolio bankruptcy auction really means for rent-regulated assets and the broader market.

Drawing on his deep experience mediating between borrowers and lenders, Leo explains why bankruptcy isn’t a dirty word—it’s a strategic tool to right-size debt, buy time, and reset capital stacks when traditional negotiating fails. He digs into:

• Why the Mamdani administration’s attempt to condition the Pinnacle sale around repairs was unlikely under federal law
• How lenders and owners rethink leverage when values fall and debt overwhelms assets
• The psychological and tactical realities of navigating distress, including when to restructure, when to walk away, and how to work with lenders during volatile markets

This episode gives investors and operators a grounded look at the changing landscape of multifamily distress and how to make sense of it with clarity and strategy.
