Judd Dunning: The Banker of Big Ideas and Breakthrough Real Estate

In the fiercely competitive world of institutional real estate, Judd Dunning stands out—not by accident, but by design. As a third-generation real estate executive, he leverages two decades of high-level commercial real estate expertise to deliver deals that defy expectations. Today, as the President and Principal of DWG Capital Group (and DWG Capital Partners), Judd leads a team recognized for executing sophisticated, high-impact transactions across industrial, retail, office, multifamily, and development sectors.

Judd’s reputation is built on results, and the numbers speak for themselves. Under his leadership, DWG has closed approximately $2 billion in capital markets transactions—including investment sales and debt/equity placements. These include defining deals like the $165 million Sony Animation NNN portfolio sale, which garnered the Los Angeles Business Journal Community Impact Deal of the Year Gold Award, and multiple CoStar Power Broker recognitions.

But Judd’s influence extends beyond the numbers. Before founding DWG, he was a top producer at Newmark Knight Frank / Apartment Realty Advisors, rising quickly to Senior Managing Director of Capital Markets and earning accolades like “Top Ten Producer” and “Career Excellence Award”. That background—a deep institutional foundation—gives clients and investors confidence that every strategy is layered with insight, precision, and long-term thinking.

What truly sets Judd apart is his approach. He brings clarity, simplicity, and vision to what often feels like an overwhelming landscape. By focusing on value-add and sale–leaseback industrial investment structures, he unlocks opportunities that align durable cash flow with tax efficiency and yield. The result? Above-market results delivered with care and purpose.

Above the boardroom, Judd is anchored by his core values—faith, family, and the pursuit of life’s adventures alongside his two daughters. He is a passionate board-sports traveler, a supporter of the arts, and someone who knows that building infrastructure isn’t just about buildings—it’s about building futures.

In the fast-moving skies of capital markets, Judd Dunning is more than a pilot—he’s a thoughtful navigator with a clear destination in mind. For clients seeking a trusted partner to drive smart growth and elevated outcomes in commercial real estate, he isn’t just a safe choice. He’s the rare guide who sees value before others do—and then creates it.
