Over the next decade, working with a team challenged to establish the firm’s initial presence in the U.S. commercial real estate market, Neil played a key role in virtually every aspect of an aggressive acquisition, asset and portfolio management program that resulted in the creation of a high quality portfolio of shopping centers, office buildings and hotels.

In 1996 Neil joined Prana Investments, a San Francisco based real estate fund management firm Neil serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer for this specialized multi-family residential real estate investment management firm targeting properties in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York City.
