Newmark Appoints Munish Viralam to Lead Real Estate Strategy & Consulting Group

PR Newswire· July 8, 2026

Newmark Group, Inc. has appointed Munish Viralam as Executive Vice Chairman to lead its newly integrated Real Estate Strategy & Consulting Group. Based in New York, Viralam will oversee a practice that combines the firm's New York Consulting and Financial Services teams to provide specialized analytical and strategic support for complex commercial real estate transactions. This move underscores the growing importance of integrated advisory services within the commercial real estate sector as firms seek to provide higher-level strategic value beyond traditional brokerage.

Munish Viralam joins Newmark as Executive Vice Chairman, where he will spearhead the Real Estate Strategy & Consulting Group. This practice is designed to work alongside Newmark’s advisors to assist clients with critical decision-making processes, including financial analysis, market assessments, operational considerations, and lease structuring. By consolidating the New York Consulting and Financial Services teams—including senior professionals Jason Perla and Romel Cañete—the group serves as a centralized resource to optimize outcomes for large-scale and multi-market transactions.

Viralam brings nearly two decades of experience to the role, specializing in the design of comprehensive occupancy strategies and the negotiation of complex transactions for major corporate tenants. He transitions to Newmark from CBRE, where his performance earned him the title of Consulting Group’s Professional of the Year on two occasions. According to Sean Moynihan, Newmark’s Tri-State Market Leader, Viralam’s team will act as a force multiplier for brokerage professionals by connecting market insights and negotiation strategies across various assignments.

The expansion of Newmark’s consulting capabilities reflects a broader strategic priority to invest in high-level advisory services across leasing and capital markets. CEO Barry Gosin noted that successful real estate outcomes are increasingly dependent on thoughtful planning conducted well before transactions are finalized. This investment is backed by Newmark's significant market presence; for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, the firm reported annual revenues exceeding $3.4 billion and maintained a global footprint of over 185 offices with more than 9,600 professionals.
