Our core capacity and capabilities for thirty-six (36) years since 1984 have been full-time professional endeavors in commercial real estate investment banking, with a core focus on hospitality and leisure commercial real estate. These investment banking endeavors have been for the execution in both investment transactional services and debt and equity placement in the capital markets. This has included both senior debt, mezzanine debt, bridge debt, and preferred equity placement. Our Turnbull Capital Group team has been involved in approximately $19.5 Billion of hospitality workouts, restructurings, bankruptcies, receiver controlled, lender owned real estate over 36 years.

Our Turnbull Capital Group team has been involved in approximately $19.5 Billion of hospitality workouts, restructurings, bankruptcies, receiver controlled, and lender owned real estate over 36 years. As the Co-founder and Senior Managing Director of Turnbull Capital Group, Dr. Wise co-shepherds our regional boutique investment banking firm located in Santa Monica and Newport Beach, California, with our Co-founder and Senior Managing Director, Brian R. MacLeod, JD, MBA, CPA, CFA. Dr. Wise skills were honed precisely and meticulously over a twenty (20) consecutive year career at CB Richard Ellis, Inc. (“CBRE”) in the Newport Beach and Anaheim offices, resigning as a First Vice President. This was during the era when the firm became the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm. The firm grew from approximately 3,300 employees to approximately 90,000 employees during his tenure with the firm. He closed over approximately $2.5 Billion of hotels and resorts (please see CB Commercial International Investment Team attachment and CBRE tombstones on our Website). Dr. Wise was the creator, architect and founder of the firm’s Lodging & Hospitality Services Investment Banking Group in the 1980’s (we had not sold a hotel since our founding in 1906), which became today’s CBRE Hotels in August of 2014. Dr. Wise created a world-class hospitality business platform a second time in 2007 as the Founder of the Global Hospitality Industry commercial lending practice for CMBS, bridge, mezzanine, preferred equity and long-term senior hospitality debt at Johnson Capital, now Walker & Dunlop. Just some of what our commercial real estate investor clients say about us: To quote thirty plus year friend, Sir Laurence Geller CBE, Chairman, Geller Capital Partners: "You are a wonderful friend, a real professional, and a great man!” Thirty-five year friend, Michael Lutton, former President of The Irvine Company for nine years and the former Executive Managing Director, Office of the Chairman, for Cushman & Wakefield (deceased), put it this way: “Don can only be described as: old school; laser focused; hands-on; extremely loyal; has bullet proof integrity; is exceedingly disciplined; has exemplary and unbelievable persistence and follow through; has tremendous intellectual capacity; is a scholarly business writer; and is an imaginative problem solver. He is the most knowledgeable professional in the hospitality space that I know; has uncanny negotiation skills; and is a very hard worker. He brings a street-wise thoughtful approach to every problem overlaid with his extensive corporate memory. He is both very consistent and very dedicated – and those qualities are getting harder and harder to find. “He was a leader in combat conditions in the US Marine Corps and he is a leader today executing challenges with both fidelity and bravery.” To quote thirty-year friend, Jim Alderman, Chief Executive Officer, Americas at Radisson Hotel Group: "A lot of rescue capital coming together but yours comes with expertise." B. Tuckey Devlin, President, Hemingway Hotels & Resorts, put it this way: “Dr. Wise has consistently, for over five years, demonstrated very high integrity, professionalism, and the ability to solve problems. He is a bona fide professional in a sea of wanna-be investment bankers.” To quote twenty-year client, Dennis A. Mac Donneil, said this about his skill sets: “I have called upon Don for help with financing projects and with selling projects. He has been an invaluable resource to me. “Besides a wealth of personal hospitality industry brokerage experience, Don brings a vast network of contacts to the table that is second to none. He’s represented both buyers, sellers, and borrowers in transactions both here in the United States, and in countries outside of the US.” BROWSE OUR WEBSITE HOME ABOUT PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS PHILANTHROPIC ENDEAVORS PERSONAL ENDEAVORS ARTICLES & WEBINARS REVIEWS DISTRESSED ASSET SOLUTIONS CONTACT CONTACT INFORMATION Phone: (949) 283-9706 Email: drdonaldwwise@gmail.com Address: 1024 Bayside Drive, Cabin 324, Newport Beach, California 92660 Google Reviews OUR LOCATION Content, including images, displayed on this website is protected by copyright laws.
