Cushman & Wakefield
Cushman & Wakefield is a publicly traded commercial real estate services firm headquartered in Chicago. The company emerged in its current form after the 2015 merger of DTZ and Cushman & Wakefield, creating a global platform with deep roots in brokerage and property management. The firm operates across leasing, capital markets, valuation, project management, and property management. It serves occupiers and investors worldwide, with a geographic footprint spanning North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. The company reported $10.3B in 2025 revenue, driven by its recurring management and advisory fees. Cushman & Wakefield's 53,000 employees are deployed across 60 countries. In May 2026, the firm published research on AI's impact on CRE, projecting uneven sector shifts over the next decade (per the firm, May 2026). The company also operates a data center advisory practice focused on power and cost metrics. The firm's primary structural differentiator is its integrated platform combining transaction execution, asset management, and research — allowing it to offer end-to-end services that pure-play brokerages or advisory boutiques cannot match. Its public company structure imposes quarterly earnings discipline and transparent financial reporting.
