Bio
Martin “Marty” McFarland joined Bandera Ventures in September 2016. The Partners have over 140 years’ experience in commercial real estate development in excess of 62 million square feet of development and acquisitions throughout the United States and Canada. Bandera’s real estate development expertise includes office, industrial, retail, medical, data centers, and build-to-suit projects.
Marty combines extensive knowledge of the legal and financial realities of development deals with deep expertise in real estate asset strategies. His experience with real estate development and investment across the sunbelt—from Washington DC to California—is unparalleled. His architectural training, real estate law experience, and financial fluency make him a valuable ally in transactions across all product types.
He spent years as regional managing director at Trammell Crow, along with the other Bandera Ventures Partners, before becoming a partner in the real estate group at the investment bank, Alvarez & Marsal, where he used his legal and financial expertise to consult on real estate asset strategies and restructuring. He went on to serve as vice president and general manager at Opus South, then became a founding partner at Weeks Robinson Properties. It was there that he put together a highly successful $400 million opportunity fund to develop industrial assets throughout the southeast. He is known for successful third-party development opportunities he creates and for his facility in securing institutional capital.
Marty graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a BS in Architecture. He earned his MBA from the Darden Graduate School of Business at the University of Virginia and a JD from Georgia State University. He is a licensed real estate broker in several states and a licensed real estate attorney in Georgia.
