Newmark Group, Inc. completed an off‑market sale of a 1.4‑million‑square‑foot micro‑bay industrial portfolio on January 6 2026. The portfolio, spread across Maryland and Northern Virginia, consists of roughly 50 buildings and serves about 600 tenants. Silverman Group acquired the assets for $203 million, with the transaction finalized on the same day the announcement was made.
The deal underscores the continued appeal of small‑bay industrial properties in supply‑constrained corridors such as Capitol Heights, Glen Burnie, and Fairfax. These assets are prized by institutional investors for their durable income streams and downside protection, and the transaction adds a diversified, high‑quality portfolio to Silverman’s holdings while reinforcing Newmark’s focus on resilient, infill industrial assets.
Newmark’s own research indicates that the U.S. industrial market stabilized in Q3 2025, with an 11 % year‑over‑year increase in national sales volume. Vacancy rates remain elevated, but demand for infill and micro‑bay properties has strengthened, and the construction pipeline has contracted, making existing assets more valuable. The sale reflects this broader market trend and the strategic positioning of both firms.
Newmark has been active in recent months, arranging a $630 million refinancing for 830 Brickell, advising on a $386 million sale‑leaseback for Scholastic, and expanding globally with a new office in Seoul. The company’s recognition as North America’s Best Real Estate Adviser further highlights its capability to execute sizable off‑market deals such as this one.
Silverman Group, a family‑owned investment firm with a portfolio exceeding 30 million square feet, has pursued a strategy of value‑add and build‑to‑suit projects. Recent acquisitions in Richmond, VA, and Clifton, NJ, in November 2025 demonstrate its focus on the Mid‑Atlantic market. The new portfolio expands Silverman’s presence in key industrial corridors and provides a diversified tenant mix that supports stable cash flows.
The transaction signals robust demand for micro‑bay industrial assets and validates Newmark’s strategy of targeting high‑quality, infill properties. For Silverman, the acquisition strengthens its Mid‑Atlantic footprint and offers opportunities for rent growth and portfolio diversification, while for Newmark it demonstrates continued execution capability in a competitive industrial environment.
