Over the last 35 years, Glickman has built his real estate firm into one of the most powerful in Central Massachusetts, playing a role in shaping the landscape of the growing local business economy.

A member of WBJ’s 40 Under Forty class of 2003, Glickman and his firm haven’t slowed down since. Managing 2.5 million square feet of commercial space throughout the region, Glickman’s full-service firm can handle sales, construction services, and property management, helping ensure businesses have well-kept and well-designed space.

Worcester Redevelopment Authority, American Red Cross MA and Patrick Motors are among the firm’s property management clients. 

The firm is regularly behind some of the highest-profile transactions in Worcester and beyond, with Glickman himself responsible for approximately $110 million in sales and lease transactions over the past few years.

Firms and organizations the business works with includes the Worcester Redevelopment Authority, the American Red Cross, and Worcester development firm GFI Partners. 

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this profile included a reference to 86 Prescott Street as a property managed by NAI Glickman Kovago & Jacobs. The firm no longer manages this property.
