​“When the opportunity was presented to not only be a part of the growth of Pallas Capital, but to truly challenge the industry as a leader in the commercial real estate finance sector, it was an offer too good to pass on. The professionalism, experience and drive shown by the team, combined with the true care shown for all stakeholders in and around the business made this an easy decision for me” says Arnold.

​He adds, “I have known and worked with both Dan Gallen and Alexis Holloway for more than a decade and have worked closely with the broader Pallas Capital team on behalf of my own clients for the past three years. These relationships have enabled me to closely observe the capabilities and experience of the team in the commercial property and development finance market”.

​“We are excited to have Jason join the Pallas Capital team after working closely with him over the past decade and experiencing his talent and professionalism first-hand. It can be difficult to find senior personnel that align with the skill-set, culture and expertise that a company such as Pallas Capital requires as it continues to grow, and we are confident that Jason’s wealth of experience and personal drive will see an immediate impact on our business,” says Dan Gallen, Executive Director and Chief Investment Officer, Pallas Capital.

As part of the role, Alexis will be instrumental in the structuring and approval process for all commercial real estate loans. He will also be responsible for establishing credit policy and form part of the investment committee at Pallas Capital.

Established in 2016, Pallas Capital is one of the fastest growing structured property investment arrangers in Australia, having underwritten over $850 million of transactions to date. This number is expected to steadily increase over the next six months, with Pallas Capital doubling its staff since the start of 2021 to accommodate its strong growth in the non-bank lending space.

Prior to joining the Pallas Capital team, Alexis spent 13 years in the real estate and structured finance sector, most recently as a Senior Credit Manager at Balmain Group.  Alexis has held several roles within the real estate non-bank lending sector including credit manager, loan recovery and work outs and joint venture structuring, having also worked at CVS Lane Capital Partners and Deloitte.

“I have admired from afar the business Dan and the leadership team have created at Pallas Capital. The company has experienced tremendous growth over the past five years and amassed a team of talented and experienced real estate financiers. I hope to contribute to its continued growth,” says Alexis Holloway, Senior Credit Manager, Pallas Capital.

He adds, “The common goal at Pallas Capital is to become the preeminent leader in the Australian CRE debt sector. If we continue to bring our years of experience, innovation and thoughtful funding solutions to our borrower clients, then the common goal becomes very attainable.”

“In a market that is dominated by major banks and institutions, often it can be difficult to find senior credit personnel that perfectly match the skill set and expertise that a company needs as it continues to grow. We are extremely fortunate to have Alexis join the Pallas Capital team, bringing with him a wealth of experience that he has acquired  over the years through his work in corporate advisory, non-bank credit and funding roles,” says Dan Gallen, Chief Investment Officer, Pallas Group.

He adds, “As Pallas Capital expands its FUM to further attract discretionary capital, we are confident that Alexis’ addition to the team will provide valuable, enhanced oversight over the Pallas Capital loan portfolio as it continues to witness exponential growth.”
