Like all other sectors of the commercial real estate industry, the net lease space has seen a slowdown in transactions as buyers and sellers work through their respective issues before they can strike a deal. More transactions are beginning now though, as buyers and sellers move to agreement on pricing and as the Federal Reserve moves forward with interest rate cuts. As always, the sector remains the backbone of the CRE community, and it continues to be a beacon for investors eager for its steady returns.

GlobeSt. is seeking to highlight some of the most notable leaders in the net lease real estate scene, from developers, investors and brokers to those introducing new concepts and products to the business. These are the professionals, teams and organizations that have helped shape the net lease field and where it is headed. The 2026 Influencers in Net Lease will be profiled on GlobeSt.com and briefly recognized at GlobeSt.'s annual Net Lease Spring conference in New York City in March 2026.

Once the nomination portal is closed, we will no longer accept submissions.
