Investment banking veteran Eliav Dan set out on his own and recently formed the West Los Angeles-based real estate investment banking and advisory firm, Cap Pointe Advisors. The new boutique firm will offer advisory services in connection with debt, equity and subordinate debt, as well as preferred equity transactions secured by commercial real estate assets. Cap Point will serve as an “outsourced capital markets desk for middle-market and institutional real estate operators,” Dan said. “These groups do not have fully built out internal capital markets and capabilities.”“Frankly, we’re not career brokers,” Dan continued. Cap Pointe may be entering the market during a good time, according to CBRE Group Inc. Commercial real estate investment activity is predicted to reach $437 billion, up 10% this year compared to the previous year, according to the 2025 U.S. Real Estate Market Outlook Midyear Review.
