Newmark Arranges $203 Million Off-Market Sale in the Mid-Atlantic
Newmark Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRK) has successfully facilitated a significant off-market transaction involving a $203 million sale of a micro-bay industrial portfolio totaling nearly 1.4 million square feet. This portfolio, which has been acquired by Silverman Group, spans across the Mid-Atlantic region, emphasizing the ongoing demand for industrial properties in supply-constrained areas.
Details of the Transaction
The diversified portfolio consists of approximately 50 individual buildings and houses around 600 tenants, strategically located across Maryland and Northern Virginia. This region is recognized as one of the United States' most densely populated and supply-constrained industrial corridors. Leading this transaction were Ben McCarty, Managing Director, along with Cris Abramson, Executive Managing Director, and Nicholas Signor, Managing Director. They were supported by Senior Financial Analyst Henry Pleszkoch and Financial Analyst Sam Slater.
Market Insights and Trends
The Mid-Atlantic small-bay industrial market has shown remarkable resilience, attracting institutional capital due to its fragmented ownership and consistent local demand. According to Jack Fraker, President and Global Head of Industrial & Logistics at Newmark, "Small-bay industrial has become one of the most resilient segments of the U.S. industrial market, supported by diversified tenancy and local demand."
The portfolio includes properties situated in key markets such as Capitol Heights, Glen Burnie, Hyattsville, and Forestville in Maryland, as well as Fairfax and Manassas in Virginia. This broad geographic range better serves tenants focused on local and regional distribution, light industrial operations, service-oriented businesses, and last-mile logistics.
Implications for Investors
This transaction highlights the increasing investor interest in well-located small-bay industrial assets. McCarty noted that, "The scale and diversification of this portfolio, combined with its proximity to population centers throughout the Mid-Atlantic, positioned it as a highly compelling opportunity in today's market." Such insights are supported by a Newmark Research report which indicates that U.S. industrial market conditions stabilized in the third quarter of 2025. Notably, national industrial sales volume increased by 11% year-over-year.
