Newmark announced that its Global Corporate Services (GCS) division has been awarded a long-term contract with Saint-Gobain, a provider of light and sustainable construction, to support operations on behalf of its North American affiliates.
This engagement — which includes real estate strategy, transaction management, lease administration and project management — will cover a portfolio of 38 million square feet of office, distribution and manufacturing space.
“Securing a new multi-service contract with Saint-Gobain demonstrates our commitment to providing clients strategic value,” said Rick Bertasi, Newmark GCS CEO. “Through great partnership, strategy and implementation, GCS will help Saint-Gobain lower occupancy costs, increase efficiency and optimize the utilization of their real estate portfolio.”
Newmark GCS supports Saint-Gobain’s commitment to building a more sustainable and inclusive industry, the company said.
“At Saint-Gobain, Corporate Social Responsibility and our purpose of ‘making the world a better home’ is at the heart of our value creation model. Our partnership with Newmark GCS is based on a shared belief in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment while minimizing the carbon footprint,” said Bob Panaro, senior vice president and COO at Saint-Gobain.
Newmark Executive Managing Director Craig Scheuerle referred the GCS team for the Saint-Gobain contract.
