Started in 2002, Bond Street Capital
was established by Barry Reiner and Joseph Forman. Mr. Reiner was the former
Managing Director of Capital Markets for Commercial Real Estate Finance for
First Union Securities, where under his direction the firm originated over
$11BB of CMBS loan product. Reiner, an attorney by trade, worked for a decade
as a Wall Street attorney specializing in real estate, real estate finance and
commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Mr. Forman began his career as a lawyer before he was lured onto real estate
finance. He worked his way up the ranks from staff lender to division manager
within 3 years. His turn came in 1987, when he assumed the title of president
of CSL Realty Advisors, a Los Angeles-based subsidiary of a major financial
institution that pioneered the concept of structured products for the
commercial real estate industry.
A little more than a decade later, in 1998, Forman formed RainMaker Financial
Affiliates (RFA), Los Angeles, an affiliate entity of the RainMaker Financial
Companies. RainMaker Financial Affiliates was a marketing company representing
over 30 institutional lenders that matched the loan requirements of a
proprietary network of over 1,400 independent commercial mortgage
professionals. In 2002, RainMaker and BSC merged their interests to form a
unique, nationwide commercial lender.
