CHICAGO — NewPoint Real Estate Capital LLC has hired Christopher Honn as managing director of seniors housing originations.
Based out of Chicago, Honn will work to expand the firm’s seniors housing and healthcare platform, with an emphasis on agency loan solutions.
Honn brings more than 35 years of seniors housing and healthcare originations and underwriting experience to NewPoint. He has built several production platforms and leverages a track record of executing for nonprofit and for-profit clients on a national basis.
Prior to joining NewPoint, Honn served as a managing director at Regions Bank, where he assisted in the creation of the firm’s seniors housing platform. Before that, he managed Berkadia’s seniors housing and healthcare mortgage banking and underwriting team. He also served as director of Fannie Mae’s seniors housing program for 12 years, where his team significantly grew the size and credit quality of the seniors housing portfolio.
