Arcis Capital Partners, an investment advisory, investment banking and investment management firm, has acquired Greston Partners, a real estate investment advisory and asset management.
Greston principal Mohaymin ‘Mohi’ Monem will be joining ArcisCap as a partner and head of its real estate and hospitality investments business.
He will be based out of ArcisCap's recently established Atlanta office.
Monem is a real estate and hospitality executive with breadth of experience that spans advising and working for multiple institutional investors as well as real estate operators, developers and advisers.
He previously led the hospitality investment platform at State General Reserve Fund (the sovereign wealth fund of Oman) and was a principal within the real estate group with a prolific investment track record in Europe and North America.
Prior to that, Monem was as a vice president at Dubai Investment Group, where he was responsible for investment and asset management for a multi-billion dollar global real estate and hospitality portfolio. He has also held various corporate and management positions at Marriott International, Hotel & Leisure Advisors, Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, and Ritz Carlton.
Afzal (Al) Tarar, chairman and managing partner of AricsCap, says: "We are delighted to integrate Greston Partners into our business and Mohi as a partner to lead our real estate and hospitality investments business. Mohi's global track record, diverse perspective and deep capital and sector relationships will significantly add to ArcisCap's capabilities in growing our real estate and hospitality investments business. Given our investors' strong appetite for US real estate investments, Mohi will be pivotal in accelerating our deal sourcing and investments in various sectors, including student housing, hospitality, mixed-use, and industrial."
Monem says: "I am excited about the opportunity to work alongside an expanded team with diverse experience, and leverage ArcisCap's and Greston Partners strong institutional and HNW capital relationships in Asia and the Middle East towards our proprietary deal flow in various real estate sectors in the US."
