Fred Papasso

With over 20 years of experience in commercial real estate, Mr. Papasso is an accomplished broker who delivers a highly business-driven approach centered on performance, execution, and measurable client outcomes. A consistent top producer and multi–award-winning professional, he has built his reputation on structuring transactions that maximize value, mitigate risk, and align with clients’ broader financial objectives.
Before joining Newmark Associates, he led a major global real estate brand, where he was responsible for driving revenue growth, overseeing operations, and scaling market share. That executive leadership background translates into a strategic, data-driven mindset—enabling him to approach assignments with the discipline of an operator and the perspective of a firm leader.
Mr. Papasso has managed diverse portfolios across office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use sectors. This operational insight allows him to advise clients on asset performance, expense management, tenant dynamics, and long-term positioning—bringing an owner’s view to every leasing or investment decision.
His wide array of experience as a principal of a development and investment firm involved in acquisitions, repositioning strategies, and value creation initiatives, completing numerous tenant fit-outs and larger development projects, he offers a practical understanding of construction costs, timelines, and feasibility. This capability strengthens underwriting, improves deal structuring, and assists clients make faster, more informed decisions.
Due to Mr. Papasso’s combination of brokerage, leadership, operations, and construction experience, he understands the full real estate lifecycle—from sourcing opportunities and negotiating transactions to executing build-outs and optimizing asset performance. The result is more efficient execution, sharper financial alignment, and a partner focused on delivering tangible business results rather than just closing deals.
