Matthew Phelan

Currently in the role of Senior Acquisitions & Development Analyst, Matthew graduated from Yale University where in addition to obtaining his degree in Political Science he spent time on the defensive line for the school’s football team (Go Bulldogs!). Prior to joining the team, Matthew worked with Dinan & Company in Phoenix, Arizona where he served as Senior Associate of Investment Banking, originating and closing numerous private equity transactions in the healthcare, industrial, oil & gas, technology and consumer products sectors.

These days, Matthew works alongside New Castle Partner, Julian Buffam, in analyzing and underwriting hotel acquisitions and developmental projects.

Matthew is raising two rescue dogs with his wife Tara at their home in Connecticut, and when he has time away from coordinating their acquisitions and developments, he loves to travel (especially Orange County, California for the beaches), tailgate at Yale football games, weightlift, and dive into World War II and Vietnam War history.
