Bio
Steve Biegel joined Newmark Knight Frank in 2017 as executive managing director in the firm's Houston, Texas, office, where he specializes in office tenant representation. An attorney turned real estate broker, Mr. Biegel has a combined 36 years of legal and brokerage experience that has spanned multiple cycles of Houston's boom-and-bust real estate market. Consequently, Mr. Biegel is adept not only at the structuring, negotiation and closing of complex real estate transactions but also at complicated restructurings, refinancings, workouts and foreclosures. Mr. Biegel has completed transactions in excess of 18 million square feet.
Prior to Newmark Knight Frank, Mr. Biegel served as executive vice president and co-branch manager of Savills Studley's Houston office. In this role, he focused on representing office tenants, particularly law firms. Throughout his tenure with Savills Studley, Mr. Biegel was a member of the firm's Law Firm Practice Group, which he chaired for several years.
Mr. Biegel launched his career in real estate brokerage at Trione & Gordon in 1998, after 17 years as an attorney with Andrews & Kurth LP (now Andrews Kurth Kenyon LLP). During his tenure at the Houston-based law firm, he advised tenants and landlords on complex lease transactions in the city and throughout the U.S. He also represented developers, investors and institutional lenders in all aspects of commercial real estate acquisition, development, financing and disposition and worked on numerous master limited partnerships, REITs and other financial market transactions.
