Monument Capital Management named Joseph Ianoale as its new chief investment officer at the close of 2025. He will lead the Miami-based REIT’s investment strategy and oversee growth across its diversified multifamily portfolio nationwide, Monument said in a Dec. 17 release.
Ianoale brings nearly two decades of experience in real estate, private equity and investment banking spanning a range of asset classes and multidisciplinary investment strategies to the role. He replaces Stuart Zook, who previously served as principal and CIO.
Monument is a part of Coral Gables, Florida-headquartered A-Rod Corp, an alternative investment firm focused on sports, real estate and entertainment that was founded by former New York Yankees great Alex Rodriguez.
“I am truly honored to step into the role of CIO for Monument,” said Ianoale. “Monument’s track record, platform, and team are exceptional, and I believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the market opportunities ahead.”
Most recently, Ianoale served as senior vice president of acquisitions and asset management at Mast Capital, a Miami-headquartered real estate private equity firm that has capitalized over $4.5 billion in real estate assets. There, he led the firm’s residential equity and debt investment strategy, serving as a key liaison between investment and development teams, and oversaw the full life cycle of multifamily investments.
Prior to Mast, Ianoale served as vice president of acquisitions at LEM Capital. Earlier in his career, he worked in investment banking at Wells Fargo Securities within the infrastructure and public finance group, where he supported more than $5 billion in transactions and developed a strong foundation in financial structuring, capital markets and deal execution.
“Joe’s investment acumen, leadership and hands-on experience across acquisitions and asset management make him an exceptional fit for Monument’s continued growth,” said Monument Capital Management President Erin Knight in the release. “His experience managing complex real estate strategies and proven value-creation will be invaluable as we expand our national footprint.”
