Established in 1989, Newcastle Properties, LLC is a private real estate investment firm operating a diversified national investment strategy.
Newcastle Properties was founded by James D. Devine and John E. Gross, two highly successful commercial real estate brokers in Chicago. Working for the legendary Arthur Rubloff & Co., they eventually joined together to start investing for their own account. With retail real estate as their initial focus, the portfolio of properties grew significantly, at one time topping 3,800,000 sf and currently totaling over 2,800,000 sf.

It has been my pleasure to interact with Newcastle Properties (NP) over many years. I give them my full endorsement as a highly capable operator of commercial real estate. In one specific example I was acting as the exclusive agent in the disposition of a large community shopping center. NP pursued the property during the marketing cycle and was selected as winning purchaser. The seller was a pension fund advisor with a stringent set of transaction guidelines. NP moved quickly through contract negotiation and due diligence process. They closed on the transaction on time and without any type of unnecessary price re-trade. In particular I would like to recognize Michael Horne. As a senior member of the NP team he represents them well, displaying a high degree of acumen and professionalism. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Newcastle Properties again soon.
