In addition, Kucha will help lead the western operation along with vice chairman, co-head of Commercial Capital Markets Northern California Steven Golubchik and president, West Coast Capital Markets Kevin Shannon. The move strengthens NKF's Capital Markets operation on the West Coast and ensures continued, seamless cooperation between all the professionals while providing best-in-class service, market information, and execution through a client-centric model, GlobeSt.com has learned.
Kucha will contribute his expertise to Golubchik's focus on the Bay Area, and will form a strategic partnership with Shannon in the Seattle and Portland markets to help best serve their clients. His established presence in Seattle and Portland will tie in to collaborative, team-oriented services across the West Coast which will provide the most opportunity for clients to access and purchase more product.

Specializing in major commercial equities and industrial institutional sales, Kucha possesses over a decade of experience in commercial real estate with a focus on office and industrial assets. He comes to NKF from HFF, where he was a senior managing director and the co-head of the Portland office.
Kucha transacted on over $1 billion of Capital Market transactions in the Seattle and Portland markets in 2016, making him one of most active and prolific producers in the Pacific Northwest. His diverse range of clients and notable assignments that have contributed to his success have all been instrumental in building his career to this point.
“This hiring to bolster NKF's Capital Markets operation nationally is a testament to the firm's continuous mission to seek out the best talent available,” says Golubchik. “As our partnership with Nick begins, we know our collaboration will result in success for our clients not just for the West Coast team, but for the organization overall.”

His added expertise and specialization in the Seattle and Portland market areas will vastly extend our reach and once again strengthen our platform, enhancing our services for clients by adding best-in-class professionals.”
