Galletta joins the company after serving over 16 years with Boston-based real estate private equity firm Alcion Ventures, most recently as a partner, where he was responsible for developing joint venture relationships, identifying and executing on investments, and on-going asset management of a portfolio of development and value-add assets spanning several major U.S. and Canadian cities.

In his role, Galletta will work closely with stakeholders to define and implement the firm’s commercial investment strategy in an environment of changing office, R&D and life science demand. 

“Nordblom Company has a reputation for integrity, forward-thinking and results earned over many decades.  I’m excited for the opportunity to join this team and play a role in the continued growth and evolution of this real estate investment platform,” said Galletta.
