Northmarq Capital LLC

We can trace our roots to 1916 when the Hamm family, founders and owners of the Theodore Hamm Brewing Company, formed United Properties Incorporated as part of a plan to reorganize the brewing company. United Properties would acquire all property not used in the brewing business. During the next 30 years, United Properties acquired or established new companies and became the parent company to a diverse mix of business interests. One of those companies was General Mortgage Investments, acquired in 1962. United Properties established the commercial division of GMI to provide mortgage banking services to the commercial real estate industry. The Northland Company Era When Edward H. Hamm acquired control of United Properties in 1967, the company name changed to The Northland Company to better represent the company's diverse businesses. The United Properties name was given to The Northland Company's real estate division. Not long after, General Mortgage Investments was renamed Northland Mortgage Company. In 1984, changes in the residential mortgage industry prompted The Northland Company to sell Northland Mortgage. In anticipation, the commercial division was incorporated as Northland Financial and not included in the sale. The Pohlad Era Northland Financial was sold to the Pohlad family in 1998 and became part of the Marquette Financial Companies portfolio of operating companies. Ultimately the company was renamed NorthMarq Capital. Expanding the Business During the 1970s the commercial operations expanded to St. Louis and Kansas City; and in the early 1980s offices were opened in Denver and Phoenix. By the late 1980s an expansion on the West Coast occurred with offices opening in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. In 1998, we opened an office in Chicago, strengthening our Midwest presence. Through growth and acquisition, we have built a truly nationwide presence.
