Veteran agents Damiani, McCarthy have opened new NGKF office locally
A pair of veteran agents have 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," Damiani wrote in an e-mail. "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 linchpin of NGKF Minneapolis' office culture," NGKF said in a statement.
The firm has about 14,000 professionals in more than 400 offices worldwide.
