Co-Founding Partner, in Memoriam

Andrew Larew, a founding principal of LD&A, was a veteran of the commercial real estate industry with more than 40 years of experience across a full spectrum of finance and capital markets from workout strategy, litigation, investment, to development and property management. Andrew passed away on October 1, 2024 after a long battle with multiple myeloma. His presence is greatly missed, but his passion for all things real estate lives on here.

Early on in his career Andrew was a Senior Investment Advisor with Travelers Realty Investment Company, responsible for the origination of $100 million of new mortgages as well as the oversight of a $250+ million loan portfolio.

From Travelers, Andrew moved his efforts to foreclosure and loan workouts, first for New England Savings Bank, and later with RECOLL Management Corporation (a division of Fleet Bank, now Bank of America), where he managed and directed the liquidation of a portfolio of large balance, and real estate assets for an FDIC Receivership.

Later in his career Andrew was Director of Finance for the Widewaters Group, Inc., a private real estate company with over 3,000,000 square feet of commercial office, retail, multifamily and industrial real estate. There he orchestrated and implemented the recapitalization of the company's $125 million real estate debt. The recapitalization included the origination and negotiation of debt, the sale of non-core assets and the acquisition of distressed property through a 1031 Exchange.

In 1996, Andrew re-entered the lending side of the business as a mortgage correspondent with Legg Mason Real Estate Services, which later lead to the formation of his own mortgage banking company and current role in 2002 as Principal of Larew, Doyle & Associates, LLC in its New York City and Syracuse offices.

Andrew earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from Syracuse University.
