In his former role, Rechtsman oversaw commercial and residential transactions in excess of $1.5 billion. At Hullmark, Rechtsman will oversee both private equity and debt verticals. He will also see to the expansion of the company's private equity platform, which has direct investments in existing development projects valued in excess of $850 million.
“Noah’s distinguished 12-year career in real estate investment sales have positioned him well to lead the growth of Hullmark’s established — yet relatively unknown — private equity and debt verticals,” Jeff Hull, president of Hullmark, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome Noah to the company.”

Damji and Savoie's promotions have been a long time in the making. Both were instrumental in Hullmark's strategic vision to invest in and transform Toronto's urban neighbourhoods.
