Newmark has recognized three brokers for their outstanding performance in the Southeast region during 2005.
Senior Executive Vice President and Director of U.S. Operations Neal Golden; Managing Principal Patrick Duffy; and Managing Principal Bert Sanders were recognized as the top billing brokers in a regional office for their work in representing tenants in a series of major office lease transactions during the year. Golden, Duffy and Sanders split their time between Newmark’s Atlanta and Miami offices. The team’s engagements included representation of:
-Burger King Corp. in the 250,000 square-foot relocation of its world headquarters in Coral Gables, Fla.;
-The Clark Hill PLC law firm in a 76,335 square-foot transaction in Detroit; the trio also represented the firm in subletting 78,161 square feet;
-Haas Publishing Companies Inc. in a 66,918 square-foot lease in Norcross, Ga.;
- the Husch & Eppenberger LLC law firm for 51,964 square feet in Kansas City, Mo.;
- Norwegian Cruise Line for a 42,081 square-foot requirement in Mesa, Ariz.;
-AirTran Airways Inc. in a 38,104 square-foot lease in Atlanta;
- the Smith Currie & Hancock LLP law firm in a 36,826 square-foot transaction in Atlanta;
-Kaplan Higher Education for 34,396 square feet in the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Ga.; and,
-radio broadcaster Cumulus Media Inc. in a 20,461 square-foot lease in Atlanta.
Golden, Duffy and Sanders all attributed a large measure of their 2005 success in the past year to a number of factors.
“Working with Patrick and Bert has always been both a pleasure and a privilege,” said Golden. “Credit for our productivity should also go to our extremely talented support staff, which was instrumental in making 2005 the outstanding year it was for the Atlanta and Miami offices.”
“I have two great partners in Neal and Bert,” said Duffy. “We have developed the ability to leverage off each other in a variety of situations, which helps us most effectively serve the needs of our clients.”
“Patrick, Neal and I have been professional colleagues and friends for a long time, and we have been able to develop a relationship that works extremely well,” said Sanders. “It’s a partnership based on mutual trust and a commitment to our work – which enables us to provide the top-tier level of service our clients expect.”
