We are thrilled to add their tremendous talent to our roster of highly successful industry professionals,” stated Executive Vice President, Central Region Market Leader Kevin McCabe. “The addition of Dan and Jay to our Minneapolis office is an important win for the company and supports our growth initiative in the Twin Cities area.”

“Both individuals offer extensive experience specializing in landlord and tenant representation services and provide client centric service delivery,” McCabe added. “Dan and Jay’s focus is centered on occupier services for distribution centers, warehouses and flex facilities along with investment services for owners and users of warehouse and mixed-use properties.”
The industrial team of three, expressed enthusiasm about Newmark’s unrivaled local leadership team. “Newmark’s integrated service platform is an ideal vehicle for providing strategic real estate solutions to my institutional and entrepreneurial clients,” commented Friedner, who is a member of the Minnesota Commercial Association of Realtors (MNCAR) and the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors (SPAAR).
“This is absolutely the right time to transition to Newmark, and I feel fortunate to have the ability to work with local industry leaders like John McCarthy, Jim Damiani and industrial notable Brian Netz,” added Chmieleski, who is a member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), MNCAR and SPAAR. “My clients will benefit from my new association with Newmark, as it allows me to provide enhanced local, national and global resources and fortify my ability to grow my business to best suit my clients’ expanding requirements.”
