Mike Courson

Vice Chairman

Palo Alto
E: mike.courson@nmrk.com P: 650-688-8527

CA RE License #10358961

Mike Courson joined Newmark in 2012 as an executive managing director specializing in the representation of landlords, tenants and investors throughout the Greater Silicon Valley. As of February 2018, Mike was promoted to Vice Chairman. Prior to joining the Palo Alto office, Mike spent 10 years at Cushman & Wakefield (formerly Cassidy Turley), where he achieved partner status within his first four years in the business. Throughout his commercial real estate career, his transactions have exceeded $3.75 billion in value, and since 2003 he has closed over 12.75 million square feet in lease and sale transactions.

Mike has participated in numerous sales and leasing transactions that were later nominated by local business journals as deals of the year. Three standouts are Stanford’s acquisition of the Mid-Point Technology Campus located in Redwood City, totaling 898,278 square feet, ING Clarion’s acquisition of 133,036 square feet along Sand Hill Road and Chan Zuckerberg Initiative’s (CZI) build-to-suit, 225,000-rentable-square-foot headquarters located in downtown Redwood City. Throughout Mike’s career, special attention has been paid to downtown amenity and transit orientated markets; specifically, Mountain View, Palo Alto and Redwood City. In 2017, Mike led four major Class A ground-up lease transactions in downtown Redwood City totaling over 315,000 rentable square feet. Associated tenants included CZI, Go Fund Me, McKinsey & Company, Bessemer Ventures, Gunderson Dettmer, SendGrid and Highfive.
