Bio
I'm Randy Blankstein — founder and president of The Boulder Group, a nationally ranked net lease advisory firm based in Wilmette, Illinois.
Over 30 years, I've led The Boulder Group to close more than $11 billion in single-tenant net lease transactions — consistently ranking the firm in the top 10 nationally by CoStar and Real Capital Analytics. From 2015 to 2025, CoStar ranked me among the top fifty net lease advisors in the nation.
What I do:
I advise institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, REITs, developers, and 1031 exchange buyers on the acquisition and disposition of NNN (triple-net-leased) properties. Our expertise spans retail, office, and industrial single-tenant assets — including quick-service restaurants, dollar stores, drug stores, bank branches, and gas stations.
Market intelligence:
The Boulder Group publishes quarterly Net Lease Research Reports that are cited by GlobeSt, Bisnow, REJournals, MBA Newslink, Commercial Property Executive, and other industry publications. Our research tracks cap rate trends, supply dynamics, and transaction velocity across all three net lease sectors.
Industry leadership:
Chair, Net Lease Summit Conference | Co-Chair, IREI Triple Net Investor Strategies Conference | Multiple Net Lease Executive of the Year Honorable Mentions, Commercial Property Executive
