BrightSky Residential Appoints Donny Fineberg to Lead Capital Markets Strategy

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#globalbest–BrightSky Residential (“BrightSky”), a leading developer of single-family build-to-rent (“BTR”) communities, has promoted Donny Fineberg to Director, Capital Markets, where he leads the firm’s joint venture equity platform and is responsible for sourcing, underwriting, and structuring investments with institutional and private capital partners.

“Donny leads our joint venture equity business, partnering closely with our investments, acquisitions and operations teams,” states Leonard Miller, Chief Executive Officer of BrightSky. “His relationships and experience are key to supporting our company’s growth and capacity.”

Mr. Fineberg joined BrightSky in 2025 following seven years of experience across real estate financial services, with a focus on acquisitions, development, and investments in the BTR and multifamily sectors. At BrightSky, his role spans acquisition strategy, capital formation, and investment execution.

Prior to BrightSky, Mr. Fineberg worked at Core Spaces, where he supported the firm’s build-to-rent efforts across multiple markets, with responsibilities spanning underwriting, due diligence, and equity investments. Earlier in his career at Heitman, he evaluated investment opportunities across the living sector, including single-family rental, multifamily, and student housing, and supported the development of single-family rental joint venture initiatives.

“There’s growing interest in build-to-rent, but the way platforms operate can look very different,” said Mr. Fineberg. “A big part of my role is helping investors understand how BrightSky approaches markets, site selection, and development, while also expanding our relationships across a broader set of capital partners who want long-term exposure to the space.”

Mr. Fineberg holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder and is a member of the Urban Land Institute. He is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
