When we joined SVN three and a half years ago, we kept the Angelic brand in combination with SVN.
When we started working on a name, logo and brand for our new company, we realized we already had all that from our sailing team and so Angelic Real Estate was born. Just prior, we had a Grand Prix sailboat racing team based in Chicago named Angelic, named after my husband, Angel. Where did the name come from?Ī: We formed Angelic Real Estate nearly 16 years ago. Q: You currently serve in two main roles: you’re Managing Director, SVN | Angelic as well as Chair of Institutional Capital Markets for SVN. The transaction involved an acquisition, bifurcating the land from the building, structuring a very unique lease to drive a 100% financing, and doing all that through a charitable organization that will ultimately donate the building back to the tenant when the loan is paid down to zero. Given the COVID-19 outbreak and the critical need for healthcare services, it’s nice and very meaningful that this company can focus more on caring for people and less on paying the rent. Q: Can you give me an example of a recent high-volume deal that was both meaningful and creative?Ī: We recently closed an $84 million deal for a large healthcare company that will save them $3 million annually on their rent. It’s the best of both worlds- creativity paired with business acumen- and I liked that balance from the very beginning. I see commercial real estate as our largest unregulated asset class, and because it’s less regulated, there’s enormous room to come up with creative, out-of-the-box solutions to accomplish your objectives while also generating volume. Q: Why were you so drawn to commercial real estate?Ī: What really attracted me is the ability to be unique and creative, but also be in a position to put together meaningful deals. My work exposed me to the industry I fell completely in love with it and never looked back. Right after school, I went to work in investment banking, where one of my contacts talked me into becoming a commercial real estate analyst on the investment banking side.
Congratulations! How did you get your start in the industry?Ī: I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with degrees in Finance/Business Economics and Computer Applications.
Q: Twenty-five incredibly successful years in commercial real estate this May. With over $7 billion in transactions and $1 billion in tenant representation work to his credit, the charismatic and distinctively stylish Silverstein has had a long and extremely successful career that has taken him from the University of Notre Dame to London to the bright lights of New York City and Chicago and now Texas.Īn rDCF client and ardent fan of our game-changing transaction underwriting software, we managed to catch up with the ever-on-the-go real estate executive to discuss his career, some of his more noteworthy projects, why he uses rDCF and his thoughts on COVID-19 and its impact on commercial real estate and our country’s economy. Silverstein, who currently has a dual role, serving as both Managing Director of SVN | Angelic, his own commercial real estate brokerage based in Austin, TX, and Chair of SVN Institutional Capital Markets, has been a high-profile fixture in the industry for 25 years. Work in commercial real estate for any length of time and it’s inevitable you’ll hear the name Gabriel Silverstein, if not meet the man in person.
