Newmark Group, Inc. has established its Korean flagship in Seoul, hiring a leadership team spanning multiple disciplines. The office, located in the IFC Complex in Yeouido, officially opens this month and will focus on all industry verticals and asset classes. The business will be led by John Pritchard as managing director and country head. Pritchard brings nearly two decades of experience, having advised global corporates on some of the Korean market’s largest occupier transactions.

The new team arrives from leading multinational commercial real estate firms, and includes Karis Kim, head of retail, tenant representation; Judy Jang, head of research; Miji Kyung, associate director; Sienna Ahn, senior manager, tenant representation; Leadley Park, senior manager, tenant representation; and Chan Joung, manager, tenant representation.

“As the world’s 10th-largest economy and a global leader in sectors including technology, automotive, logistics and finance, the country’s outward investment momentum and deep corporate sophistication make it a central gateway for international occupiers and investors,” said Pritchard. “With an accomplished leadership team already in place, we are establishing a presence that connects Korea’s most innovative enterprises to opportunities worldwide.”
