KIRKLAND, Wash., Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Weidner Apartment Homes, the 12th largest apartment owner in the U.S., has named Ben Katon as Chief Capital Markets Officer.

Katon graduated with a dual master’s degree in Accounting and Finance. He joined Weidner in 2003 and has been on Weidner’s Executive Leadership team since 2007. In his over two decades with the company, Katon has helped grow Weidner’s portfolio from approximately 12,000 units to over 70,000.

Katon facilitated the finance of an average of 60 deals per year for Weidner in his former position as Sr. VP of Finance and Acquisitions.

“In my 21 years at Weidner, I have deeply enjoyed the fast-paced growth of our company and industry and the exciting challenges these opportunities bring. However, what I enjoy most are the people I work with at Weidner and within our industry,” said Katon.

“Ben has been institutional in shaping our conservative financial structure and innovational in providing precisely the correct type of loan for each transaction. He is a master at his craft,” said Dean Weidner, Weidner’s Chairman and Founder.
