An experienced finance professional based in Washington, D.C., Joe Biaou is a managing partner at FRB Capital Group, a commercial real estate (CRE) capital market advisory firm he founded in 2011. Joe Biaou specializes in structuring equity and balance sheet capital for a range of CRE transactions, both domestic and international. He oversees the group's strategic vision and manages all new ventures and business lines.
Despite launching FRB during the Great Recession of 2010, Joe Biaou has been able to position the group as an industry leader through a unique approach of arranging fresh capital to a de-leveraging and re-priced market. It has since adapted to meet market demands, now offering its own equity placement platform and loan syndication desk.
Mr. Biaou is also the founder and CEO of Millennium Mortgage Trust. He started his career in commercial mortgage banking as an originator with a mid-market firm. Complementing his experience, he is a member of the Mortgage Bankers Association and Commercial Real Estate Finance Council, among other professional organizations.
