Newmark’s Multifamily Investment Team Negotiates 9 Transactions Totaling Over $689 Million
Sales Total
$689,300,000
Newmark’s Midwest Multifamily Investment Sales Team consists of Liz Gagliardi, Chuck Johanns and Susan Lawson. During 2025, the team closed nine transactions totaling $689.3 million.
Notable highlights include negotiating the $174.7 million sale of North Water Apartments, the largest single multifamily transaction in the Chicago area over the past two years.
The team also handled the $88.5-million sale of Eleven33, which was the largest single multifamily sale in Oak Park, IL over the past 5 years.
With an average deal size of over $76 million, the team consistently delivered successful closings for their clients through an uncertain capital markets environment, where investor capitalization rate expectations shifted rapidly in response to macroeconomic events.
These are some of the reasons we selected Newmark’s Midwest Multifamily Investment Sales Team as one of Connect CRE’s Chicago & Midwest 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.
