Newmark Knight Frank Brokers 177,000-Square-Foot


Renewal and Expansion Lease at Miami-area Industrial Park
Deal with AAR Landing Gear Services at Medley Commerce Center
is latest in region’s red-hot industrial market

MIAMI (June XX, 2019) — Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) announced


today that it brokered a renewal and expansion lease totaling 177,000
square feet with AAR (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services
to commercial airlines and governments worldwide, for its Landing Gear
Services (LGS) business at Medley Commerce Center in Medley, Florida.
The long-term deal will keep AAR LGS in its South Florida headquarters
for the next 10+ years and reflects continued strong fundamentals in the
region’s industrial market.

Located at 9270 NW 100th Street near the Palmetto Expressway, Medley


Commerce Center was originally constructed in 1984 and has been
occupied by AAR LGS for more than 20 years. The value-added Class B
facility houses more than 500 highly skilled employees who repair and
overhaul aircraft landing gear used by major airlines and the military.
AAR employs approximately 6,000 people around the world and has
annual revenues of nearly $2 billion.

Medley Commerce Center is owned by Gateway Southeast Properties


and features more than 3 million square feet of warehouse space in
proximity to the Florida Turnpike, I-75 and State Route 826. The facility is
also just minutes away from Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale
International Airport and the region’s seaports.

NKF Miami’s Executive Managing Directors Steve Medwin and Nick


Wigoda and Associate John Mejia, along with NKF Chicago’s Director
Mark Deady and Senior Managing Director Adam Marshall, represented
the tenant, AAR LGS. The owners were represented by Jon Aibel, Alex
Bernaldo and Mike Silva with Americas Industrial Real Estate.

“South Florida’s industrial market is booming, and this transaction


reflects AAR’s continued commitment to grow its business in Miami.
Nearly 100 new high-wage jobs will be created with this expansion,” said
Steve Medwin.

According to NKF Research, Miami’s industrial market continues to


benefit from record demand, with more than 2.7 million square feet of
leasing activity occurring in the first quarter alone. Miami-Dade accounts
for nearly 70% of all industrial development taking place in South Florida,
while asking rents for all three industrial segments continue to push past
previous highs. Miami’s industrial vacancy rate (3.7%) also recently hit a
record low despite the delivery of more than 12 million square feet of
new inventory since 2011.

Newmark Knight Frank Inks 2,050-Square-Foot Lease with


First-to-Market Concept LemonShark Poke

Atlanta, GA (April 16, 2019) — Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) announced


today that it brokered a 2,050-square-foot lease with LemonShark Poke
at The Bishop, a new mixed-use development adjacent to Palisades
office park in Sandy Springs. Known for its Hawaiian-style cuisine, the
fast-growing poke chain’s new location marks its official entrance into
Georgia.

LemonShark Poke will open for business this summer at the ground-floor
of The Bishop, which is located at 1115 Springwood Connector. The
project also includes neighboring retail and approximately 400 luxury
apartments. Multifamily developer and investment firm Pollack Shores
owns the development, which is expected to benefit from its proximity to
numerous job centers and MARTA.

Associate Director Chris Dundon of Newmark Knight Frank represented


the tenant. Charlie Banks and Jack Arnold from Stream Realty
represented the landlord.

The new restaurant will be run by franchise owner D.J. Fuchs. Named
after the Lemon Shark who only consumes the very best fish possible,
LemonShark Poké prides itself on serving the finest quality ingredients to
its guests. In addition to traditional poké offerings, the menu includes
shareable appetizers such as tempura shrimp and egg rolls, and its
signature Hawaii Katsu menu that features cooked-to-order, delectable
entrées including chicken, Alaskan cod and more. In addition,
LemonShark Poké’s new location provides locals with an elevated dining
experience – featuring Japanese-inspired upscale, chic décor. The Sandy
Springs location will also feature an oyster bar and a beer wall which will
serve a variety of Atlanta’s local craft beers.

“Atlanta is growing at such a rapid rate, and NKF presented our team
with a rare opportunity to introduce a first-to-market concept in a top ten
metropolitan area,” said Fuchs. “We’re excited to bring our combination
of extraordinary service, comprehensive food selection and tight-knit
family community to Sandy Springs.”

Fuchs plans to open multiple LemonShark Poké locations around the city
as the franchise continues to grow.

“This particular location in Sandy Springs has quickly emerged as a new


social hub and reflects LemonShark’s strategy to appeal to a wide array
of people,” said Dundon. “We expect the restaurant to capitalize on the
growing office population and new supply of Class A renters who seek
unique and healthy dining options that are close to work or home. We
look forward to watching D.J. and his team grow LemonShark’s footprint
in metro Atlanta.”

The Bishop is located near the intersection of Peachtree Road and


Hammond Drive, the Dunwoody MARTA station and the future addition
of the East-West connector between Peachtree Dunwoody Road and
Perimeter Center. Plans also call for approximately $5 million in road
improvements, multi-use trails/sidewalks, enhanced property access and
additional green space.

LemonShark Poke’s hours of operation are Sunday through Sunday from


11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. For more information, please visit

Newmark Knight Frank Hires Sean Moynihan to Lead


Atlanta Office

Atlanta, GA (Feb. 20, 2019) — Newmark Knight Frank (NKF), one of the
world’s leading commercial real estate advisory firms, today announced
that it has hired Sean Moynihan as Executive Vice President and Market
Leader for the company’s Atlanta office. Moynihan’s initial goals are
focused on creating a modern, next-generation workplace that will
enable NKF to attract top talent at all levels.

Having originally joined NKF in 2003 as a tenant rep, Moynihan returns to


the firm after holding a variety of executive positions across the
commercial real estate industry. Moynihan’s extensive leasing track
record includes a 106,000-square-foot build-to-suit for Nelson Mullins
Riley & Scarborough at Atlantic Station, a 108,000-square-foot early
restructure and expansion of the global headquarters for Immucor
Gamma, and a relocation and consolidation of First Data’s 184,000-
square-foot headquarters in Atlanta.

In his new role, Moynihan will apply his learnings in the industry, as well
as his experience as a soccer coach, to lead the NKF Atlanta team.

"We are very pleased to welcome Sean back to Newmark Knight Frank,"
said Lou Alvarado, Chief Revenue Officer and East Region Market Leader
at NKF. "Sean's unique skill set, extensive network of contacts and ability
to coach will be extremely valuable as we continue to build out our
various service lines and embark on a new hiring initiative in Atlanta. He
has the vision and know-how to take NKF to the next level, and we have
full confidence in his leadership ability as we begin an exciting new
chapter for this office."

In conjunction with his professional soccer background, Moynihan also


serves as a coaching director, and past president, for Gwinnett Soccer
Academy (GSA), one of Georgia’s largest youth soccer clubs. Before
turning pro with the New Jersey Stallions (USL), he competed at the
NCAA Division 1 level as a three-year starter and captain for Monmouth
University in New Jersey. Moynihan has also been heavily involved with
the Buckhead YMCA, including volunteer of the year in 2014, where he
served on the board of directors for 12 years.

"There is incredible positive momentum at NKF, and I’m thrilled to have


the opportunity to mentor this team and oversee an expansion that will
position our firm as a top contender in metro Atlanta," Moynihan said.
"As with soccer, in this business you win with people, and that’s why
finding the right people is so critical. We will start by investing in our
company culture, which includes incorporating a more modern and
functional workspace that appeals to today’s real estate professional.”

Moynihan is taking over for former NKF Regional Managing Director Brett
Hunsaker who left NKF to pursue other opportunities.

“I have big shoes to fill, and I’m thankful for Brett’s assistance in making
this a seamless transition,” said Moynihan.

Moynihan comes to NKF from IBT Enterprises where he assisted clients


in achieving an enhanced consumer experience and drove revenue
through innovative concepts and high-quality design. He has also held
executive positions at Avison Young and Carter.
