NewQuest Properties Announces the Recent Hire of Heather Nguyen


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - May 16, 2013) - NewQuest Properties is pleased to announce that Heather Nguyen will re-join NewQuest Properties as Director of Business Development overseeing a new third party client services division. Nguyen, previously with Stream Realty Partners, will focus on serving third party clients, leasing and management of commercial property in Houston. She will begin to build her team at NewQuest that will initially include John Nguyen and Caitlin Jones.

Routinely a top producer, Nguyen's 18 years of real estate experience provide her with a deep command of leasing, tenant representation and development. Nguyen's commercial property management in Houston encompasses many prominent real estate investors and retailers. Her commercial real estate clients in Texas include HEB Development, Luby's Inc., Kroger Company, 99 Ranch Market, Megdal and Associates, Sam Boyd Development, CBL Development, and Popeye's. Additionally, her skill of speaking fluently in English and Vietnamese has provided her the opportunity to work with many local Vietnamese business owners in their expansion across Texas.

Prior to joining Stream, Nguyen was Senior Vice President of NewQuest Properties where she specialized in the leasing of power and regional shopping centers, represented a mix of national and local retailers, and sold anchored shopping centers and single-tenant net leased properties. While at NewQuest, Nguyen was awarded numerous distinctions including "Overall Top Producer," "Top Retail Broker," The Houston Business Journal's "Heavy Hitter," H Texas Magazine "Top 100 Professionals" in 2010, and H Texas Magazine "Top Women in Business" in 2011.

"We highly value Heather's expertise and are excited about the opportunity to increase our third party retail activity in Texas with her and her team," said Katherine Hatcher, President and Chief Operating Officer of NewQuest Properties.

This latest news by NewQuest Properties directly follows the recent creation of NewQuest Crosswell, the founding of NewQuest Epic Investments and the acquisition of Texas/Southwest Group. NewQuest Crosswell is a real estate investment firm that develops, manages, and invests in real property throughout major markets in the United States. NewQuest Epic Investments acquires existing grocery-anchored retail centers in the top 60 markets nationally. The Texas/Southwest Group became a division of NewQuest Properties approximately eight months ago to expand NewQuest's reach into restaurant-focused tenant representation.
