ARTISAN Capital Group ("ACG") is pleased to announce the addition of two new team members, Bryan Berkey and Michael Tanaka, who joined the firm in April and May 2025, respectively.

Bryan Berkey joins ARTISAN as Managing Director of Acquisitions. With over 18 years of multifamily investment experience, Bryan most recently served at Marquette Companies where he was responsible for the acquisition of approximately $2 billion in market-rate multifamily properties—totaling over 13,000 units—across value-add and core-plus strategies. At ACG, Bryan will lead the sourcing, due diligence, and closing of acquisition opportunities with a focus on Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. He will be actively involved in negotiating purchase contracts, loan documents, and joint venture agreements, as well as raising both debt and equity capital.

Michael Tanaka joins ACG as Acquisitions Analyst. He began his role in May 2025 and supports the team in evaluating new opportunities and executing ACG's multifamily investment strategies. Prior to joining ACG, Michael was a Credit Manager at Huntington National Bank, where he underwrote, managed, and modified loans across all property types while supporting portfolio oversight and credit risk evaluation.

“We are very excited to welcome Bryan and Michael to the team to help expand the ARTISAN footprint throughout the Midwest” said Ryan Cahalan Partner at ARTISAN Capital Group. “Bryan’s deep transactional experience, relationships, and leadership, paired with Michael’s analytical support, will further strengthen our acquisitions platform and align with our ongoing growth strategy.”
