James Nugent

 James Nugent joined the Jay Luchs Group in Newmark Pacific's West Los Angeles office in 2023.

A Los Angeles native, James grew up immersed in the city's ever-evolving culture of food, fashion, and lifestyle - that fluency in LA's neighborhoods, the brands, restaurants, developers, and people that shape them, has become the foundation of his work. From the Beverly Hills Triangle to the Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, Malibu, Studio City, and Manhattan Beach, he brings a genuine understanding of what makes each market work and what each community needs.

James specializes in retail and office leasing and investment sales, representing both tenants and landlords across greater Los Angeles and nationally. His work spans national and global brands expanding their retail footprint to local operators building something from the ground up - and on the landlord side, large institutional owners to small family-held buildings. He has represented Blank Street Coffee, PopUp Bagels, With Jean, Truly Pizza, Les Tien, Bread Head, The Taco Stand, Still Here NYC, Henry's Secret Ice Cream, Lil Sweet Treat, Rimadesio, Madeworn, and The Butchery in their Los Angeles locations.

Before joining Newmark Pacific, James interned with the Caruso leasing team, where he worked alongside world-renowned fashion and hospitality brands on some of the most sought-after retail properties in the country. He graduated Cum Laude from USC's Real Estate Development Program in 2023 with a minor in Entrepreneurship.
