“I am excited to launch Infinity Global, particularly at this time in the real estate cycle,” said Marty Burger, CEO of Infinity Global.“From development of world-class projects, to acquiring great operating assets and building platforms for debt and other real estate investment strategies, there are outstanding opportunities for the firm across the industry. Our partnership with Andrew Farkas and Island Capital will further strengthen our ability to execute and we’re already putting deals in motion.”
