About the Team

The Glasgow team provides agency and investment, business rates, compulsory purchase, lease consultancy, energy real estate and industrial advisory, and valuation services to investors, developers, landowners, occupiers, and public sector clients.

Growing Scottish presence - Newmark has been actively expanding its UK regional footprint, so joining now means growing with the office and the Newmark Early Careers cohort.
