Sales Total
$3.3 billion
As Newmark’s Executive Vice Chairman and President of Western Region Capital Markets, Steve Golubchik serves as the co-head of Newmark’s life science practice group and oversees commercial capital markets on the West Coast. In 2025, he led his team in completing 32 transactions totaling $3.3 billion in sales volume.
Notable highlights included the sale of a 1.1 million-square-foot campus on the San Francisco Peninsula, representing the largest single-asset office sale in the past 20 years and the largest transaction in Palo Alto’s history.
The team also negotiated the sale of 600 California at $360 per square foot. This was the highest per-square-foot sale generated for a vacant building in 2025.
These are some of the reasons we selected Steve Golubchik as one of Connect CRE’s California Top Broker Award winners for 2026. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards and transaction volumes in investment sales and leasing.
