​[[{“value”:”CBRE Adds Sam Lawhead to Portland Pacific Northwest Multifamily Team

CBRE has expanded its Pacific Northwest multifamily investment capabilities with the addition of Sam Lawhead as a first vice president in its Portland office. Lawhead joins the firm’s Pacific Northwest multifamily investment team and will work closely with existing team members Matt Dodd, Josh McDonald, and Joe Nydahl to advise clients active in the region’s apartment investment market.

Lawhead brings more than 15 years of experience focused on multifamily investment sales, recapitalizations, and institutional advisory assignments. Over the course of his career, he has concentrated on serving institutional and private investors seeking to trade, recapitalize, or reposition multifamily assets, with a particular emphasis on complex capital stack and transaction structures.

Before joining CBRE, Lawhead served as a managing director with Newmark’s Pacific Northwest Capital Markets team. In that role, he was involved in more than $2.7 billion of multifamily transactions encompassing over 10,000 units, underscoring a track record in large-scale portfolio and single-asset trades for a range of investor profiles. His experience extends beyond brokerage into acquisitions and property management roles, giving him familiarity with both ownership and operational perspectives.

Leadership at CBRE’s Portland office highlighted the strategic fit of the hire. Jason Green, managing director for CBRE in Portland, described Lawhead as a strong addition to both the local office and the broader Pacific Northwest multifamily platform, citing his market knowledge, long-standing client relationships, and experience advising on institutional transactions. According to Green, those attributes are expected to enhance the team’s ability to support investors pursuing multifamily strategies across the region.

CBRE’s Pacific Northwest multifamily investment team advises investors on acquisitions, dispositions, and recapitalizations across Oregon and Washington. With Lawhead joining the group, the team adds a practitioner with experience in both capital markets advisory and property-level roles, positioning the platform to continue serving institutional and private capital sources seeking to transact in the Pacific Northwest’s apartment sector.
