Susan Spelios
Susan brings over 30 years of real estate experience from ground up development, investment, asset management, acquisition and underwriting, debt and equity placement, securitization, as well as workouts. From 1990 to 1997, Susan was with Fleet Real Estate Capital, where she managed a national portfolio of commercial properties on behalf of Lehman Brothers. These assets were either pool buyouts, recaps or in bankruptcy, giving her extensive knowledge of workouts and restructurings.
Additionally, Susan was then responsible for the real estate and hard asset portfolio for a Greenwich family office, which had been a private banking client. As the head of real estate, she dealt with the acquisition and disposition strategies for such assets as the purchase of a southeastern based defunct REIT, individual office and multifamily assets in the northeast, an oil terminal facility in Puerto Rico, and the holding/development strategy for 18,000+ acres in central Florida. Susan then went back to the private banking side of the business, both at Citi Group and then Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, where she was responsible for identifying and developing suitable commercial real estate products to meet the needs of bank clients.
Susan earned a BA in economics from Boston University and a Real Estate Finance Certificate from Northeastern University.
