MATT FALLEY
General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer
Cityview
With over 25 years of experience as a lawyer specializing in the real estate industry, Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP. Ten years ago, he decided to pivot and move in-house, joining his then-client Cityview as general counsel and chief compliance officer.
During his tenure, Falley oversaw the creation of five Opportunity Zone Funds with more than 150 high-net-worth investors and family offices and helped launch the Cityview’s affiliated property management company in 2018. Falley has helped Cityview navigate numerous challenges in the commercial real estate market, most recently addressing the rapid increase in interest rates, cost of debt and lack of liquidity in the market. Despite these challenges, Falley was an integral part of the company’s success over the past year in executing new loan originations, refinancings and loan modifications totaling $500 million.
As CCO, Falley is responsible for ensuring Cityview meets all compliance and regulatory obligations as an SEC registered investment advisor. Additionally, Falley oversees the company’s Human Resources department, and in this capacity has successfully grown its summer intern program and overseen its leadership academy, which provides the team with Harvard management courses, case studies and other resources that help develop internal talent. He also oversees Cityview’s DEI employee initiatives, which strive to promote a workplace centered on diversity of perspective, equity across the organization and inclusion at every stage. 94% of the new hires in 2023 at Cityview and its affiliated property management company, Westhome, were women and/or racially underrepresented individuals.
