Michael Maloney, now a managing director, has been advising tenants and landlords in leasing, acquisitions and dispositions within the suburban Philadelphia market for nearly six years. The local office presented him with the “Young Leaders” award in 2013 and the “Rising Star” award in 2012. Deal highlights in 2013 include a renewal for The John Templeton Foundation in Conshohocken, Pa., and a new headquarters lease for ePharmaSolutions in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., involving a relocation and expansion.
Patrick Nowlan, promoted to director, is a landlord and tenant representative with eight years experience in Eastern Pennsylvania’s Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware counties. In addition to local transactions for clients such as RREEF (at the Wellness Center) and owner The Provco Group (at Villanova Center), Mr. Nowlan expanded client kgb USA into Memphis, Tenn., and McLeansville, N.C., with new call center locations in 2013.

“The success of our five regional NGKF offices can be attributed to the tireless endeavors of such individuals who continually perform at the highest level on behalf of our clients. I am honored to announce these additional promotions and look forward to an even brighter road ahead for Anne, Michael, Patrick and Tim,” commented Bob Clements, executive vice president and managing director of NGKF’s Philadelphia region.
