Cityview has hired Christoph Donner, the firm’s new principal and global head of capital development and strategy. Based in New York City, Donner will pursue new global strategic opportunities, build and maintain relationships with investors and partners, lead the firm’s fund development and capital strategy, and oversee the launch and growth of a new East Coast office for the firm.
Donner’s hire comes at a time of rapid growth for Cityview. The firm is focused on expanding its global capital-raising efforts and deploying capital from its recently closed seventh discretionary fund. He also will head the firm’s investor-relations team, working closely with Jennifer Halvas, managing director, and serve as a member of Cityview’s investment committee.
Donner was previously CEO of America PIMCO Prime Real Estate LLC (formerly Allianz Real Estate of America LLC).
Before that, he was a senior managing director and chief credit officer at Aareal Capital Corp.
