Founded in 1999, Namdar started with a single acquisition of a small retail storefront in Long Island, NY. It has since thrived to become one of the fastest-growing private real estate investment firms in the country. It is continuing to grow at an unprecedented rate, averaging over 20 acquisitions annually over the last 4 years, consisting primarily of large retail malls, shopping centers, offices, and medical buildings.
