Mr. Niland has over 45 years of diversified real estate and finance experience. He has been a sponsor's representative during a conversion, a property manager, a banker, and president of his own cooperative's board of directors. This varied background gives him a thorough understanding of the financing process and how it affects a cooperative or condominium. Since 1987, Mr. Niland has focused on arranging cost-effective underlying mortgage, capital improvement, and credit line financing for cooperative and condominium apartment properties. Every transaction receives his personal attention from start to closing.
Prior to founding First Funding, Mr. Niland was a project manager for several real estate developments in New York. His projects included the renovation and cooperative conversions of an 11-story building on the Upper East Side and a 116-unit garden apartment complex in Scarsdale, as well as the construction of a new 18-story mixed-use condominium on Madison Avenue and a new 28-story, 750,000 square foot office tower on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. He also managed, on behalf of various investor groups, an 80,000 square foot office park plus over 500,000 square feet of retail space in three suburban shopping centers. Earlier in his career, Mr. Niland was a financial analyst in the Treasurers Department of Exxon Corporation, where he was a member of the finance team for the Trans Alaska Pipeline, then a budget analyst in the Real Estate Division of W.R. Grace & Co.
