Newmark announces the company has hired Jessica Morin, a nationally-known voice in commercial real estate, as Head of National Occupier Research. In the newly-created role, Morin will lead thought leadership and research initiatives focused on occupier behavior, labor market dynamics and macroeconomic trends, enhancing Newmark’s ability to deliver forward-looking insights for occupiers across industries.
With more than a decade of experience in commercial real estate research and economic development, Morin brings a data-driven perspective to how corporate real estate decisions intersect with market forces. She joins Newmark from CBRE, where she served as Director of U.S. Office Research, leading national initiatives that analyzed office market trends, economic drivers and the evolving nature of work and workplace strategy.
“Jessica is a proven leader with a clear ability to translate complex data into actionable insights,” said Elizabeth Hart, President of Leasing, North America. “Her work will directly support our advisors and clients as they find opportunity in a rapidly evolving landscape, assessing the competitive landscape for sector trends across portfolio optimization, workforce strategy and location planning.”
Morin will work in close partnership with Newmark’s Research, Consulting and Leasing teams to strengthen the firm’s capabilities in occupier strategy. Her appointment supports the firm’s broader investment in expanding research depth and client-facing advisory across service lines. In summer 2024, the company hired Joseph Biasi and Brandon Isner, two leading commercial real estate researchers, as Head of Research for Capital Markets and Retail, respectively.
“Jessica’s addition marks a major step forward for our research platform,” said David Bitner, Executive Managing Director and Global Head of Research. “Her expertise across labor, economics and real estate strategy makes her uniquely positioned to lead our occupier-focused research at a time when clients are seeking clarity amid ongoing uncertainty.”
“The Newmark research team values both rigor and relevance in research,” said Morin. “This is an opportunity to build a dynamic occupier research program that helps clients make confident, data-informed decisions.”
