Centerview Partners Offices Recapitalization and Growth

Centerview Partners has a significant presence in the world of investment banking, with offices in key locations such as New York and London.

The firm's recapitalization efforts have led to a significant growth in its operations.

In 2018, Centerview Partners acquired a majority stake in GCA Corporation, expanding its global reach and capabilities.

This strategic move marked a new chapter in the firm's history, positioning it for continued growth and success.

We've recently expanded our reach through new partnerships.

Centerview Partners has formed a strategic partnership with a leading global investment bank, allowing us to offer our clients a broader range of services.

This partnership has enabled us to tap into new markets and provide our clients with access to a wider network of resources.

Yann Krychowski, the former co-head of banking for France and Benelux at Barclays, is now Centerview's fourth Paris partner.

Centerview operates a partnership model and is known for paying its partners exceptionally well, with seven partners in the UK sharing £28m in the year to March 2021.

Krychowski joins a team that includes other high-profile names like Matthieu Pigasse, the former head of investment banking at Lazard, and Nicolas Constant, another ex-Lazard managing director.

Centerview's Paris office was established in April 2020 and has since grown to over 25 people, although some have already moved on.

The firm's approach is focused on large and complex transactions for listed corporates, rather than trying to compete for league table rankings.

Kenneth T. Berliner has joined Centerview Partners as a Partner in New York. He brings over 30 years of investment banking experience to the firm.

Mr. Berliner has industry leading expertise in Retail and Apparel, E-Commerce, Consumer Products, and Healthcare Services. His experience will help Centerview in all areas of their business.

Mr. Berliner joins Centerview from Peter J. Solomon Company, where he was President for 23 years. Prior to that, he worked in the Mergers and Acquisitions and Leveraged Buyout Groups at Salomon Brothers, Inc. and Bank of America.

Some of the significant transactions Mr. Berliner has advised on include the $6.3 billion merger of Staples, Inc. and Office Depot, Inc., and the $2.9 billion acquisition of Warnaco Group, Inc. by PVH, Inc.

Mr. Berliner will be responsible for the firm's Retail and Apparel and E-Commerce activities, and will source and execute assignments across the firm's other industry sectors.

Centerview Partners' offices have been involved in a significant recapitalization deal, one of the largest of its kind in Orange County's office market since the pandemic. This deal values Centerview at about $188 million or $311 per square foot.

The buyer, Emmes, paid a reported $200 million, or roughly $325 per square feet, for the property in 2017. This indicates a notable increase in value over the years.

The 305,003-square-foot building at 1920 Main St. is reported to be about 74% occupied, and the 300,004-square-foot 2010 Main St. is about 68% full. This occupancy rate suggests a stable and in-demand location.

Oaktree has partnered with Emmes on this recapitalization deal, marking their first partnership. Oaktree has a strong track record in Orange County's office market, having partnered with the local office of Hines on numerous deals.

The recapitalization deal is notable for its significant valuation and the involvement of a highly sophisticated global investor like Oaktree.

The Centerview Partners offices are located in New York City and London.

The New York office is situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, near Times Square.

Centerview Partners has a significant presence in New York City, with over 100 employees based in the office.

The London office is located in the City of London, near the Bank of England.

Centerview Partners has a long history in London, dating back to the 1990s when the firm first established a presence in the city.
