NAI Capital

We are excited to welcome Executive Vice President David Maling to our team in the Pasadena office.

David brings 35 years of experience and over $3 billion in closed transactions, with deep expertise in investment sales, asset management, leasing, and bank foreclosures.

If you work in investment sales, leasing, or have clients with 1031 exchange or foreclosure needs in the San Gabriel Valley or greater LA, David is a tremendous resource.

There's a different kind of momentum when activity is happening across multiple markets at once.

NAI Global was just ranked among the nation's top 5 CRE brokerage firms by Commercial Property Executive for the second year in a row, with $20.5 billion in combined sales and lease volume.

Industrial continues to lead the way, but the bigger story is the scale and consistency behind it.

As part of the NAI Global network, we're proud to play a role in that growth locally here at NAI Capital Commercial.

The Los Angeles Business Journal has named our CEO, Chris Jackson, to the LA500 for the second consecutive year, Class of 2026!

Chris began his career in commercial real estate in 1997 and has since become one of Southern California's most respected CRE leaders. He led the employee-led buyout of NAI Capital Commercial in 2020, became our CEO in 2022, and was recently appointed to the 2026 NAI Global Leadership Board. His vision continues to elevate our agents and brokers across Southern California, leading by example every step of the way.

Congratulations, Chris. Well deserved.

On Memorial Day, we take a moment to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

A few moments from ICSC Las Vegas this week.

Three packed days of meetings, reconnecting with clients, and catching up with colleagues from across the industry.

Good to see so many familiar faces and make a few new connections along the way.

MUST-SEE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

250 acres in Coalinga at approximately $10K per acre, creating a rare entry point with meaningful upside.

The site sits directly alongside existing neighborhoods with schools, retail, and infrastructure already in place, bringing real momentum to future development.

Multiple paths forward including SFR, build-to-rent, multifamily, or long-term land hold.

This is the kind of basis developers look for when timing and margin matter.

From lease signed to doors open.

Mark Seferian and Jesse Paster represented Prime Pizza LA in the opening of its new Valley Village location along Whitsett Avenue.

It’s always rewarding to see growing local brands activate space and become part of the community fabric.

ICSC Las Vegas is almost here, and NAI Global will be on site bringing together perspectives, market insight, and real opportunities for collaboration. The booth is a great place to turn quick introductions into meaningful conversations.

Our NAI Capital team will also be in attendance, and we’d love to connect. Look for Jesse Paster, David Shaby III, Stefan Neumann, Maurice Nieman, Kevin Lachoff, John Cserkuti and Steven Berman in Vegas.

We had a great time at last week’s ICSC LOCAL conversation at The Penmar around Fairways, Family Land & Fairfax!

Our team, including brokers Jesse Paster, Stefan Neumann, David Shaby III, Steve Weiss, and head of property management Justine DelMonico, had the chance to connect with owners, investors, and peers thinking deeply about how sites across Los Angeles evolve over time. These are the kind of conversations that stick with you.

Looking forward to continuing them at the next one.
