Name: Nicoletta Pagnotta

Title: Vice President

Company Name: Meridian Capital Group

Email: [email protected] 

Years in real estate: 12

How did you get your start in real estate?

Left a job in fashion and wished to put my business degree to work.

What real estate associations or organizations are you a member of?

CREW New York, MBA

Telephone: 212-612-0219

What recent project or transaction are you most proud of?

I recently closed a $32 million financing for a prominent Central Park South co-op property. What made it unique and interesting, besides the large loan size, was that the mortgage was structured with three tranches to allow for capital expenditures over time while preserving the rate.

What recent honor, achievement or recognition has meant the most to you and why?

I was recently nominated for a CREW New York Star Award, which I am not counting on winning but it is an honor to be included with so many other wonderful real estate professionals.

What have been some of the benefits of being a mentor or having a mentor?

The person who I have been a mentor to is one of my direct reports and as much as I have helped and taught her about the real estate business, I have also watched her have two kids and balance her life. Being that I am now 8+ months pregnant, we’ve learned different things from each other which really is the mentor/mentee relationship at its best.
