Newmark announces that Brett Williams has joined the company as Senior Vice President, Property Management in a newly created national role focused on leading strategic client relationships and supporting the continued expansion of its Property Management business. In his role, Williams will help elevate strategic client partnerships and portfolio performance across office, industrial, retail, mixed-use and specialized assets, including hospitality-forward environments. As executive sponsor for key accounts, he will align asset and portfolio strategies with client objectives to help drive stronger net operating income, occupancy, retention and cost efficiency while reducing risk. He will also help advance an integrated service delivery model spanning operations, engineering, sustainability, hospitality, amenities and food and beverage partnerships.
“Newmark’s Property Management business continues to grow in scale and sophistication as clients seek more integrated, performance-oriented solutions,” said Richard Holden, President, Property and Facilities Management. “This role is designed to strengthen how we serve key accounts by connecting on-the-ground execution with broader portfolio strategy, helping ensure clients benefit from more coordinated decision-making, stronger operational performance and a more seamless service experience. Brett brings the leadership and perspective to help advance that approach.”
Williams joins Newmark with more than 25 years of commercial real estate management experience overseeing portfolios totaling more than 200 million square feet across the United States and Canada. Most recently, he served as Executive Managing Director, Central Region/Canada Lead, Asset Services at Cushman & Wakefield, where he oversaw property management operations across a diverse portfolio of office, industrial and retail assets and led more than 1,000 employees. In that role, he also helped lead major national initiatives tied to tenant experience, building operations and business development. Prior to Cushman & Wakefield, Williams held senior leadership positions at Transwestern and Madison Marquette, where he helped drive operational consistency, service delivery and growth across major commercial real estate portfolios.
“I’m pleased to join Newmark and contribute to a platform that is deeply focused on client service, operational excellence and long-term value creation,” said Williams. “I look forward to working closely with clients and colleagues to strengthen portfolio performance, deepen strategic relationships and deliver thoughtful solutions across a range of asset types.”
