A dynamic duo of industry veterans has opened a new Minneapolis office for New York-based commercial real estate firm Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF).
Jim Damiani, who has spent more than 20 years at what is now Colliers International | Minneapolis-St. Paul, will serve as executive managing director. John McCarthy, who has spent a similar amount of time at Cushman & Wakefield/NorthMarq, will work as the senior managing director.
"We plan to make this the best commercial real estate office in the Twin Cities with an emphasis on full service client advisory using our local expertise and global resources," said Damiani, in an email Monday. "As you will see we are creative, enthusiastic and as always, we will have fun!"
The Minnesota location will offer services, including office, industrial, retail, property management, project management, and research.
"Damiani and McCarthy's leadership is solidified by a 25-plus-year relationship that began competitively and evolved into a friendship; a bond that will now be the lynchpin of NGKF Minneapolis' office culture," according to a release from NGKF last week.
NGKF has more than 14,000 professionals who operate out of more than 400 offices worldwide.
