Managing Director at Newmark

NEWMARK’s Government Services Group is a national practice group specializing in all aspects of Federal Government lease transactions. Services provided to client building owners include acquisition and renewal of government leases, financing and sales of government leased properties, and problem solving and dispute resolution with respect to existing Federal Government leases. The team in charge of NEWMARK’s Government Services Group, headed by Todd Grinspoon, combines broad based federal government leasing experience and extensive relationships with GSA and other federal agency personnel. The Federal Government, acting through the General Services Administration (GSA), is the largest single user of space in the United States – leasing approximately 170 million square feet. NEWMARK’s Government Services Group brings skills, experience, and perspective to support clients in GSA lease transactions nationwide. Assignments involve the procurement of Federal Government tenants and the renewal of leases in client-owned buildings and all matters related to such transactions. In addition to GSA, a number of other federal agencies, using either independent leasing authority (the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Smithsonian Institution, to name a few) or delegated authority from GSA (the National Institutes of Health, the Department of the Interior and the Army Corps of Engineers, among others), procure space directly using their own personnel or third party brokers. NEWMARK’s Government Services Group has worked on leasing transactions with all of these agencies. Specialties: Federal Real Property Brokerage, Lease Consulting & Advisory Services, Investment Sales In GSA-Leased Properties, Defense Contractor Sales & Services, and Negotiation Services for Federal Real Property.
