Foundations of Newman Realty
Newman Realty Partners was founded in 1987 by Ric Newman in Boca Raton, Florida. The firm first established itself as one of the area’s leading commercial real estate brokerage and property management companies before evolving into a full acquisition and development business.
From the very beginning, Ric’s approach has combined professional vision with a strong sense of community. He served more than a decade on the Board of SOS Children’s Village in Coconut Creek, including two terms as President, and also served on the International Board of SOS Children’s Village, an organization providing foster care homes for children in need. In addition, Ric was a founding Board Member of Legacy Bank of Florida and continues to support initiatives that strengthen families and communities.
A Track Record of Success
Over the course of his career, Ric has directed the development of more than two million square feet of office, retail, residential, and industrial properties across the United States. His portfolio includes build-to-suit headquarters for companies such as Toshiba and ADT/Tyco, the Florida Panthers’ practice facility, and 600-acre conservation-oriented development in Colorado. In Florida, his early successes included Palmetto Professional Park in Boca Raton and major retail power centers anchored by national brands.
A Decade of Self-Storage Leadership
For the past decade, Newman Realty Partners has focused exclusively on self-storage development, one of the fastest-growing real estate sectors in the country. With demand for safe, modern, and convenient storage continuing to expand, the firm has delivered high-profile projects nationwide.
“True vision in real estate means not just seeing what a property is, but imagining what it can become—for the greatest value lies in building vibrant communities where people and businesses thrive together.”
