Newmark announces the firm has hired Chris Scott as Atlanta Market Leader. In his new role, Scott will work closely with Southeast Region Market Leader Ran Holman to strategically manage Newmark operations in Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, with a focus on driving revenue growth, talent recruitment and retention and business development.
“At Newmark we look for character, ability, passion and fit. Chris Scott checks all of those boxes,” said Holman. “We’re eager to work with Chris to build on our success in the southeast and provide further exceptional service for our clients.”
Scott joins Newmark after nearly two years as Atlanta Market Leader for Cresa. Prior to that, he spent two decades at Greenstone Properties, where he oversaw the acquisition and development of office properties, including multiple Class A mixed-use developments in Atlanta. His resume also includes a decade as a tenant representation broker, giving him unique insight into both the occupier and investor perspective.
“Chris’s deep experience in the Atlanta commercial real estate market, coupled with his natural leadership abilities, makes him an outstanding choice to lead Newmark’s continued growth in the region,” said Lou Alvarado, Chief Revenue Officer. “His proven track record and unique perspective in development and brokerage will be a tremendous asset to our clients and professionals alike.”
Scott joins the Atlanta office amid significant recent growth. Newmark’s Capital Markets talent in Atlanta has materially deepened in recent months through strategic hires such as Conor Lalor in Retail Capital Markets, Ryan Bellows in Industrial & Logistics, Christopher Lyon and Brooks Colquitt in Multifamily and the team of Jay O’Meara, Justin Parsonnet and Ryan Reethof in Office. The company has also won significant exclusive leasing assignments for such iconic properties as the King and Queen Towers, the 1.4-million-square-foot office complex on Atlanta’s perimeter skyline.
“The opportunity to build upon everything Sean has accomplished in the Atlanta office was one I couldn’t turn down,” said Scott. “With Newmark’s continued global expansion and the strong relationships I’ve built with Sean and Ran, I’m eager to step into this role and help drive the firm’s momentum in the region.”
