Pallas Capital is excited to announce a major expansion of our Origination team, reinforcing our commitment to providing tailored commercial real estate (CRE) lending solutions across Australia and New Zealand. The team has more than doubled to 14 members, strengthening our ability to serve our growing broker network.

Jason Arnold, Group Executive – Origination, emphasized the team’s expertise:
“Our specialists bring deep credit knowledge and local support, ensuring brokers receive tailored solutions. The addition of experienced professionals in property finance and commercial banking allows us to enhance our service and deliver outstanding results.”

Key hires include David Wang and Bruno Antonio in Melbourne, Davide Bini and Lachlan Davidson in Sydney, and Andrew Priest and Martin Shepherd in Auckland.

This expansion aligns with Pallas Capital’s milestone of reaching $2 billion in Funds Under Management, with 79% of loans originating from brokers. As non-bank lenders play an increasing role in CRE debt—now a $14.8 billion market—our team is well-positioned to support brokers in navigating this growing opportunity.

Arnold highlighted the value of CRE debt:
“It provides security for lenders, flexibility for investors, and a unique diversification opportunity for brokers. As more brokers enter this space, ongoing education is key, and our team is here to provide expert guidance and solutions for complex transactions.”
