Whitehall: The Rise and Fall of Goldman’s CRE Machine

*Special Episode Alert*
Before there was Blackstone gobbling up giant property portfolios and stripping them for parts, there was Whitehall: Dan Neidich's elite Goldman Sachs unit was for over 15 years among the most dominant forces in CRE investing. It raised the biggest funds, bankrolled the highest-profile projects, and pulled off the most complex, juicy deals from Manhattan to London. 15 Central Park West, Hudson Yards, Canary Wharf, the Helmsley Building, the highlight reel is endless. Its dealmakers became some of the industry's most respected and feared professionals. The reckoning came eventually, but Whitehall's alumni network and MO continues to shape the business as we know it today.
