Private real estate investment manager Griffin Capital Company LLC announced the appointment of Steve Guggenmos to serve as director of housing market research. The company has enlisted him to enhance Griffin’s capacity to develop proprietary research tools to forecast market trends and inform strategic investment decisions.
Guggenmos joins Griffin Capital, having previously held several senior-level roles within Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Research team. He has broad experience conducting in-depth market research and developing advanced analytical models for real estate investors and housing policy experts.
“We are thrilled to have Steve join Griffin Capital as the director of housing market research,” said Paul De Martini, chief investment officer of Griffin Capital Company. “We look forward to leveraging his broad housing market knowledge and research experience to advance our business capabilities and provide proprietary analytics to further enhance our investment process.”
