Cushman & Wakefield

About

In 1917, J. Clydesdale Cushman and Bernard Wakefield founded what would become one of the world's leading commercial real estate services firms, starting as a small family business in New York with a passion for property management and a belief in applying disciplined principles to real estate. More than a century later, that small family business has evolved into a global powerhouse with approximately 53,000 professionals operating across 400 offices in 60 countries, generating over $10 billion in annual revenue. The firm's journey has been marked by strategic expansions, including the landmark 2015 merger with DTZ and a 2018 listing on the New York Stock Exchange, transforming it into the industry leader it is today.

At Cushman & Wakefield, we believe the built environment is complex and that there are always bigger problems to outthink and greater challenges to outdo. That's why we never settle for the world that's been built, but relentlessly drive it forward for our clients, colleagues and communities. Guided by our core values of being Driven, Resilient, Inclusive, Visionary, and Entrepreneurial, we combine the power of a global platform with local expertise to deliver exceptional value. From helping clients find the perfect location to managing assets across continents, we transform challenges into opportunities and create real estate solutions that prepare our clients for what's next.
