NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Industry-leading net lease advisory firms – NNN Pro, STNL Advisors, and United Global Development Co (“UGDC”) have announced that they are consolidating under a newly launched company and brand “SURMOUNT” to offer real estate investors comprehensive brokerage, sale leaseback, lease advisory, development, capital markets, and principal investing services globally. Twenty-five-year commercial real estate industry veteran Glen Kunofsky, founder and CEO of NNN Pro and STNL Advisors, serves as Chief Executive Officer of SURMOUNT. Nicoletti DePaul serves as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. This move marks a pivotal moment in the firm’s 25-year history, aligning its expansive suite of services under a single, full-service commercial real estate platform.
Last year NNN Pro and STNL Advisors announced a strategic partnership with the SURMOUNT holding company. Today’s announcement further consolidates both companies under one brand, and adds UGDC, a pre-eminent net lease development and construction management company, which will continue to be led by Chief Development Officer Stephen Andrews. The consolidation creates a unique and unified offering in the industry that provides clients with holistic net-lease-focused real estate solutions for investors, financial sponsors, and operators across the entirety of the real estate lifecycle. The announcement comes after the recent announcement by NNN Pro launching a Capital Markets division under industry-leading mortgage broker Christopher Marks, which will now operate under the SURMOUNT brand as well.
“This is a significant milestone in our company’s evolution and a culmination of more than 25 years of strategic growth and commitment to serving our clients. With the official launch of SURMOUNT as one consolidated brand, we are reinventing what it means to be a commercial real estate advisor and partner – not just a brokerage, but a fully-integrated real estate platform tailored for today’s investor landscape,” said Glen Kunofsky, CEO of SURMOUNT. “Throughout my career, I’ve always been focused on solving problems and overcoming objections. As the needs of both our clients and the industry continue to change, SURMOUNT strives to be ahead of the curve and lead the way in best serving those complex real estate needs while creating an exceptional client experience along the way.”
“SURMOUNT represents a new chapter, built around a deeper, more collaborative approach to real estate,” said Nicoletti DePaul, COO of SURMOUNT. “Whether you’re a business operator, financial sponsor, multi-unit franchisee, developer, investor looking to complete a 1031 exchange, or a family office looking to allocate capital to real estate – SURMOUNT provides a fulsome platform committed to creating and enhancing value across both your real estate holdings and the broader capital stack.”
Given its long-standing tenure in the industry, the NNN Pro brand will transition to become SURMOUNT’s dedicated net lease online marketplace and listing platform. “Our goal is that NNNPro.com is leveraged as a dedicated marketplace that can be used across the industry to help provide even greater access for buyers, sellers, and brokers,” added DePaul. The Company’s brokerage division has completed nearly $40 billion in lifetime transaction volume.
SURMOUNT has over 130 employees and agents across its offices domestically in New York City, Boston, Scottsdale, and Chicago, and presences globally.
