Bio
John Shaunfield, an Executive Managing Director in Newmark’s Dallas office, has accumulated over 30 years’ experience in commercial real estate and executive level corporate management. Shaunfield joined Newmark in 2008 when it acquired Predium, a local firm where he was a partner. His success continued, and in 2009 he was recognized by Newmark as its National Broker of the Year.
Shaunfield’s expertise and reputation as a leader in the D/FW real estate market has led several companies, including Huawei Technologies, Air Liquide, SCOR Re-Insurance, Reddy Ice, Exco Resources, Systemware and Fuel Rewards, to use him in securing their headquarters locations. He has also assisted clients with significant transactions in key locations for Miller-Coors Company, Levi Strauss & Co., Panasonic, TXU, Kimley-Horn & Associates and Tektronix. Many clients have engaged Shaunfield for his ability to understand a company’s needs and translate that into a real estate strategy in overseeing their entire portfolios.
Shaunfield’s professional career extends beyond commercial real estate. He was the vice president of operations for Vianet Technologies, Inc. (VNTK) until early 2002. During his tenure, he was responsible for the finance, accounting, legal and operational aspects of the organization. Shaunfield created the first “working” company budgets, renegotiated contracts with existing vendors, established the employee benefits package, and organized the move from three separate facilities into one central location.
Before and after his tenure with Vianet, Shaunfield was the managing partner with a Dallas-headquartered national commercial real estate firm. During this time he helped implement the company’s conversion from a local real estate business to a national corporate services real estate firm. He was responsible for the establishment of policies and procedures, management of the portfolio account team, and negotiation of lease contracts for clients throughout the United States.
