Financial services journal Euromoney has again named Cushman & Wakefield the top commercial real estate agency, with a clean sweep of wins in the four categories of Overall Agency, Valuation, Letting/Sales and Research.
Now in its 17th year, Euromoney’s annual Real Estate Survey canvasses thousands of industry professionals, investors and corporate end-users worldwide to determine the best providers of real estate products and services in each market.
The 2021 survey marks the fourth consecutive year for Cushman & Wakefield to be named the top adviser and consultant globally, and the third time in the past four years that the firm has secured the top spot overall in Asia Pacific. This year the firm also led the pack in markets including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, India, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Matthew Bouw, Chief Executive Officer for Asia Pacific
“I am extremely proud of our achievements at the Euromoney Awards,” said Matthew Bouw, Cushman & Wakefield’s chief executive officer for Asia Pacific. “Despite the unique and often difficult challenges this past year as we navigated the evolving pandemic situation, we remained committed to our deeply embedded client-centric philosophy. The wonderful recognition from Euromoney is a fitting reward for our teams’ ongoing commitment and laser focus as they support and service our clients, whilst raising the bar for professionalism in our industry. I would like to offer a huge thanks both to our teams in recognition of their hard work, and to our clients for their ongoing support and the trust they place in us every day. Our overall wins in Asia Pacific and globally underscore our approach to providing best-in-class quality client services across all markets worldwide.”
The Euromoney recognition comes amid a positive period for Cushman & Wakefield, with second-quarter financial results indicating accelerating business momentum. The firm’s fee revenue of US$1.6 billion was up 34 percent year-on-year, a second-quarter record for the firm. Brokerage fee revenue, including leasing and capital market businesses, was up 89 percent compared to 2020, returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, according to the firm.
