Island Capital Group Consolidates NAI Global Under C-IV Capital Partners
In a move to strengthen its commercial real estate services, Island Capital Group has transferred ownership of NAI Global to its affiliate, C-IV Capital Partners. The transaction, which finalized on July 31, signals a strategic pivot by the merchant banking firm to integrate brokerage and advisory platforms under a single entity.

The acquisition follows C-IV’s recent agreement to purchase Greystone’s special servicing business, marking a concentrated effort by Island Capital to capture value from shifting market conditions. By bringing NAI Global into the C-IV portfolio, the firm gains a sprawling network of 325 offices and 5,800 professionals spanning 65 countries. This move enhances C-IV’s reach in capital markets, property management, and leasing, while maintaining the localized operational model that defines the NAI brand.
Andrew Farkas, CEO of Island Capital Group, noted that the integration is designed to address current market volatility. With commercial real estate mortgage default rates hitting 14-year highs, the firm aims to leverage its history of managing over $350 billion in assets to navigate a cycle defined by rising interest rates. For NAI Global, the leadership transition ensures continued access to institutional-grade resources while preserving the independence of its locally managed offices, according to NAI Global President Alex Waddey.
