(MENAFN- GetNews)

The Boulder Group, a net leased investment brokerage firm, announced that Randy Blankstein, President, Jimmy Goodman, Partner, and John Feeney, Senior Vice President, have each been named 2026 GlobeSt. Influencers in Net Lease. The recognition, issued by GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt, honors the most prominent and impactful individuals, teams, and organizations shaping the single tenant net lease sector in the United States.

GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum is one of the most widely read and respected commercial real estate publications in the United States, providing news, analysis, and thought leadership across all major property sectors to a national audience of investors, brokers, developers, and lenders. The annual GlobeSt. Influencers in Net Lease recognition is an editorial designation awarded to the individuals, firms, and teams whose expertise, transaction activity, market commentary, and industry engagement have most meaningfully advanced the net lease sector. Honorees are selected through a nomination and editorial review process and are profiled on GlobeSt and in GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum, one of the industry's most authoritative media platforms for commercial real estate professionals. Being named a GlobeSt. Net Lease Influencer reflects not only production and transaction volume, but recognized thought leadership and a demonstrated impact on how the broader net lease investment market operates and evolves.

The Boulder Group specializes exclusively in single tenant net lease (NNN) investment properties, advising buyers and sellers across free-standing retail, quick-service restaurants, convenience stores and fuel centers, pharmacies, auto service and parts facilities, medical outpatient buildings, dollar stores, grocery-anchored outparcels, industrial net lease assets, and ground lease investments. The firm serves a broad and growing client base that includes high-net-worth individuals, family offices, developers, private equity funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and institutional investors executing 1031 exchange strategies and net lease portfolio acquisitions nationwide. The Boulder Group operates from its suburban Chicago headquarters in Wilmette, Illinois, and maintains a secondary office in Denver, Colorado, providing extensive coverage across Midwest, Sun Belt, Southeast, Mountain West, and coastal single tenant net lease investment markets. Since its founding in 1997, the firm has arranged the acquisition and disposition of over $11 billion in single tenant net lease transactions, and has been consistently recognized as one of the top investment sales companies in the country for single tenant retail transaction volume. The firm also publishes widely cited quarterly net lease market research, tracking cap rate trends, investor demand, and pricing benchmarks across more than 80 single tenant net lease tenants - research that is regularly referenced by GlobeSt., industry publications, and net lease market participants nationwide.

Randy Blankstein founded The Boulder Group in 1997 and has established himself as one of the foremost authorities on single tenant net lease investment real estate in the United States, regularly contributing market commentary and analysis to leading commercial real estate media outlets including GlobeSt. and advising investors on NNN acquisition and disposition strategy across all market cycles. Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, is widely recognized for his expertise in executing single tenant net lease transactions, moderating industry panels at major net lease conferences, and providing market insight on cap rate trends, sector-specific demand, and buyer pool dynamics across quick-service restaurants, convenience stores, medical outpatient, and retail net lease assets. John Feeney, Senior Vice President of The Boulder Group, focuses on advising private investors, family offices, and institutional buyers on 1031 exchange strategy, bonus depreciation planning, investment-grade credit net lease valuation, and net lease portfolio acquisitions nationwide.

“Being named a GlobeSt. Net Lease Influencer is a meaningful recognition that reflects the depth of our firm's engagement with the net lease investment community over many years. The single tenant net lease sector continues to be one of the most resilient and sought-after asset classes in commercial real estate, driven by strong investor demand for passive income, long-term lease structures, and investment-grade credit tenants - and we are proud to be among the voices helping shape the dialogue around where this market is headed,” said Randy Blankstein, President of The Boulder Group.

Jimmy Goodman, Partner of The Boulder Group, added,“The net lease market in 2026 is defined by a bifurcation between high-quality, long-term leased assets with strong credit and shorter-term or non-rated properties, and understanding that distinction is critical for both buyers and sellers. We are honored by this recognition from GlobeSt. and committed to continuing to provide our clients with the expertise and market insight needed to execute transactions efficiently - whether they are deploying 1031 exchange capital, pursuing new construction NNN assets with bonus depreciation eligibility, or divesting net lease holdings at competitive pricing.”

John Feeney, Senior Vice President of The Boulder Group, noted,“The net lease market continues to reward investors who pay close attention to lease structure, tenant credit quality, and remaining term. A long-term lease backed by an investment-grade credit tenant in a growing market is a fundamentally different investment than a shorter-term asset with a non-rated operator, and that pricing gap has widened considerably. For buyers deploying 1031 exchange proceeds or pursuing bonus depreciation on new construction NNN assets, there are still compelling opportunities to acquire high-quality income streams at pricing that compares favorably to other asset classes. We are proud to be recognized by GlobeSt. for the work we do helping investors navigate those decisions every day.”

Blankstein also noted,“What has set The Boulder Group apart over nearly three decades is our singular focus on the net lease sector. We are not a generalist firm that handles net lease transactions among dozens of other property types. Every assignment we take, every market report we publish, and every client relationship we build is rooted in net lease. That specialization has earned the trust of a broad and loyal client base, and we believe it is a meaningful part of what GlobeSt. is recognizing with this distinction.”

Goodman added,“The majority of our clients are private investors, family offices, and individuals navigating 1031 exchanges, and that mid-market focus shapes everything we do. These are investors for whom the right net lease acquisition can have a significant impact on their long-term financial picture, and we take that responsibility seriously. Being accessible, responsive, and deeply knowledgeable about current market conditions is how we have built relationships that span many years and many transactions.”

Feeney added,“Our quarterly net lease market research has become one of the most referenced benchmarks in the industry for cap rate trends, pricing comparisons, and sector-by-sector demand analysis across more than 80 net lease tenants. Publishing that data consistently over many years has made The Boulder Group a trusted voice in the market, and it reinforces the expertise we bring to every transaction. We believe informed clients make better decisions, and that research is a direct expression of our commitment to them.”
