MINNEAPOLIS (May 6, 2025) — GlobeSt. has once again named Northmarq a 2025 Influencer in Retail, recognizing the firm for the fourth time for its leadership and innovation in the retail real estate sector.
Northmarq’s Commercial Investment Sales division, now in its fourth decade, completed more than $1.15 billion in retail transactions nationwide in 2024.

In support of our expanding national platform, Northmarq launched the National Shopping Center Group and National Restaurant Group in late 2024. These teams provide clients with proprietary data, detailed analytics and unrivaled industry connections to drive results in a competitive market.
Retail remains a core focus for Northmarq, with capabilities spanning single-asset and portfolio sales, sale-leasebacks and 1031 exchanges across all retail property types, including single-tenant net lease, unanchored strips and power centers.
Northmarq arms investors with insights through our MarketSnapshot reports and The Top 100: Tenant Expansion Trends report, offering data-driven guidance for confident decision-making.
To date, the firm has closed more than 6,200 retail transactions totaling over $25 billion. Notable 2024 deals include:
- $28.56 million sale of four convenience stores across Washington and Arkansas.
- $12.25 million sale of a Jewel-Osco in Oswego, Illinois.
