Jonathan Fanuzzi joined Newmark’s New York City office in 2022 as an Executive Managing Director, providing both agency leasing and tenant representation services for a wide range of asset classes and industries. He rejoins Newmark as one of the senior members of, President of New York Tri-State Region, David Falk’s team.
Over the course of his 25-year career, Fanuzzi has completed more than 20 million square feet of transactions across the United States for an array of clients. Owners and investors have entrusted Fanuzzi to lead the leasing campaigns for some of New York City’s most prominent buildings, such as the Empire State Building, The Seagram Building, One Liberty, 230 Park Avenue, 452 Fifth Avenue, 1166 Avenue of the Americas and 101 Avenue of the Americas. Fanuzzi’s expertise in developing and executing innovative leasing strategies, coupled with his strong analytical skills and deeply rooted relationships in the brokerage community, have cemented his reputation as one of the most respected leasing executives in New York City.
As a tenant representative, he has served as trusted advisor to clients across a broad spectrum of industries, including law firms, boutique financial services companies, insurance firms, technology and life science companies. Representative clients include companies such as Parexel, LifeSci Advisors, Syneos Health/INC Research, First Light Fiber, Xtellus Capital, World Gold Council, Schindler, Cohen and Hochman, and L3 Technologies.
Fanuzzi returned to Newmark after a decade at JLL, where he was consistently ranked among the firm’s top national producers and was awarded their “Top Gun” and “Gold Achiever” designations multiple times.
