Munich, 6 May 2025
Global commercial real estate advisory firm Newmark continues to grow its operations in Germany with the strategic expansion of its Office Leasing and Capital Markets teams in its Munich office. Nine experienced professionals are joining the firm, many of whom have worked together successfully for several years.
Seasoned Capital Markets Advisors Join Newmark:
Katharina Hoffmann, Alexander Blum and Philip Mrosk join Newmark as Vice Presidents, while Alexander Kandziora joins as Managing Director. The seasoned individuals have worked together over the past five years, completing transactions exceeding €2 billion. Their track record includes the €520 million sale of the Kustermann Park office complex and the €70 million sale of the landmark Lenbachplatz office building. Alexander Blum will lead the firm’s residential real estate transactions in Munich. In both 2023 and 2024, he was involved in the largest development land sales for residential use in Germany.
New Experienced Office Leasing Advisors in Munich:
In Office Leasing, Viktoria Zitzmann joins Newmark as Director, Stefanie Cuomo as Vice President, Niklas Eckert as Senior Associate, and Laura Siegler and Carina Holzer as Associates. These individuals have worked together in the Munich office market for more than five years. Most recently, they advised landlords on listings totaling over 1 million square feet and represented a range of high-profile occupiers, particularly from the automotive and technology sectors.
“Newmark continues to gain momentum in Germany. By adding these exceptionally well-positioned teams, we are deepening our expertise and further strengthening our ability to advise both institutional investors and occupiers,” said Marcus Lütgering, Country Head Germany at Newmark. “Our new colleagues are an excellent fit – both professionally and culturally – and complement our existing and growing platform in Germany.”
Lütgering joined Newmark in 2024 to lead the strategic buildout of the company’s German operations. The firm’s growth strategy includes targeted acquisitions, deeper integration across advisory services, and organic expansion in key markets, such as France and Germany.
“With the integration of top-tier professionals in Germany, we are further connecting our Continental European capabilities with our strong teams in the UK and North America,” added Michael Lehrman, President, United Kingdom, who in his role has helped lead growth across Europe. “This collaborative network enables us to deliver seamless, high-impact advisory services to occupiers and investors navigating an increasingly global real estate landscape.”
