Newmark’s story begins in New York City, the center of global real estate and the proving ground for transformative ideas. Founded by the Newmark family in 1929, at the height of Manhattan’s rise as the world’s commercial capital, the Company was built in the city that defines ambition, reinvention and scale.

From the outset, Newmark earned its reputation through entrepreneurial vision – recognizing opportunity where others saw obsolescence. Working alongside owners and developers to revive iconic buildings and reimagine under-utilized districts, Newmark helped catalyze the evolution of neighborhoods and set new standards for how cities adapt and grow. As Newmark’s headquarters, New York remains the foundation of the firm’s perspective.

The spirit of reinvention accelerated under the leadership of Barry Gosin, who set out to reposition Newmark as a fully integrated commercial real estate services platform. With more than three decades of independent leadership, Barry built a culture defined by talent and client-first thinking – scaling market-by-market, recruiting top producers, and fostering an entrepreneurial environment where leaders could grow, innovate and own their success. As a result, Newmark is now positioned as one of the industry’s most trusted global advisors.

Following its acquisition by an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald in 2011, Barry’s vision and execution propelled the Company into new markets and capabilities through a series of transformative acquisitions – inclusive of Grubb & Ellis, Cornish & Carey, ARA, RKF, BH2, HDH, and Gerald Eve – each expanding Newmark’s reach, expertise and offerings. Building on this foundation, Newmark’s 2017 initial public offering and 2018 spin-off marked a new chapter of scale and diversification. The firm broadened its capabilities across Capital Markets, Leasing, Valuation & Advisory, Loan Servicing, outsourcing, and beyond, creating one of the most comprehensive commercial real estate service platform. As the industry evolves, Newmark continues to invest ahead of the curve, building a modern, adaptable technology stack and proprietary data capabilities that enhance insight, productivity and client outcomes across the real estate lifecycle.

Today, Newmark stands as a global leader and the industry’s fastest-growing public company recognized for extraordinary growth, intentional talent, purpose-built client solutions and alpha delivered. Its recurring businesses have tripled in size since its IPO, its Capital Markets group holds a growing leadership position, and its Leasing professionals continue to shape skylines and occupier strategies across major markets. With operations on four continents and servicing clients in nearly 100 countries, the firm is trusted by many of the world’s most prominent property owners, developers, investors and occupiers.

Rooted in a culture of integrity and shared purpose, Newmark also invests in the communities it serves – supporting causes that advance housing access, education, mental health, resilience and more

From its New York origins to its position as a global powerhouse in commercial real estate, Newmark’s story is one of vision, momentum and leadership. Engineered to Excel, Newmark remains committed to delivering transformative solutions and long-term value for clients, professionals and shareholders alike – combining a talent-first culture with data, technology and insight to unlock opportunity in a rapidly evolving world.
