(Nasdaq: NMRK) ("Newmark" or "the Company"), a leading commercial real estate advisor and service provider to large institutional investors, global corporations and other owners and occupiers, announces the hiring of Munish Viralam as Executive Vice Chairman to lead its Real Estate Strategy & Consulting Group. The practice will work alongside Newmark's advisors to support clients navigating commercial real estate transactions and strategic decisions, including financial analysis, market assessments, operational considerations, lease negotiations and structuring.
Based in New York, Viralam leads the group that combines Newmark's New York Consulting and Financial Services teams, including Jason Perla and Romel Cañete.

"The most successful real estate outcomes are driven by thoughtful planning long before a transaction is finalized," said Barry Gosin, Chief Executive Officer of Newmark. "As clients seek guidance in consequential real estate decisions, Newmark continues to prioritize investment in capabilities across leasing, consulting and capital markets to best support our clients."
Viralam specializes in designing comprehensive strategies to address complex occupancy requirements while overseeing the research, structure and negotiation of transactions. Over nearly two decades, he has advised major corporate tenants across a broad range of real estate initiatives.
"Munish brings a unique combination of execution expertise, strategic thinking and collaborative leadership," said Sean Moynihan, Executive Vice President, Regional Managing Director and Tri-State Market Leader at Newmark. "His team will serve as a force multiplier for our brokerage professionals, helping connect insights, best practices and negotiation strategies across assignments and markets."
Viralam joins Newmark from CBRE, where he was twice named the Consulting Group's Professional of the Year.
"Newmark's entrepreneurial culture and willingness to collaborate across specialties is incredibly compelling," said Viralam. "Establishing a centralized, strategic framework within the industry's fastest-growing CRE firm is an exciting opportunity, and I look forward to scaling Newmark's consulting capacities to optimize offerings to our clients and achieve even stronger outcomes."
