CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD ACQUIRES INC RE

7/18/2018

This milestone acquisition bolsters its Capital Markets platform in the region and globally

SYDNEY, July 19, 2018 – Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today announced it has finalised the acquisition of Inc RE, a top Australian Capital Markets firm specialising in commercial sales, acquisitions and investment advisory. The team will join Cushman & Wakefield’s Capital Markets Australian platform and be part of the company’s global Capital Market’s network.

“I am delighted to welcome the Inc RE team to Cushman & Wakefield. Today’s announcement further strengthens our position as a leading Capital Markets firm globally and highlights the power of our brand and culture to attract the best talent. With the combination of our 950+ global Capital Markets professionals and the recent acquisition of Inc RE, Cushman & Wakefield is placed to deliver the best results for clients in any market across the globe,” said Matthew Bouw, Chief Executive Officer, Asia Pacific at Cushman & Wakefield.

The Cushman & Wakefield’s Australian Capital Markets practice will be led by Josh Cullen, Inc RE principal. The team will comprise 14 brokers focused on institutional sales, international investments, acquisitions and investment advisory. Josh will be supported by Rick Butler and leading brokers Steve Kearney and Mark Hansen.

Commenting on this milestone acquisition, James Patterson, Chief Executive, Australia and New Zealand shared, “The acquisition complements our local Capital Markets platform and creates momentum for us in the Capital Markets landscape nationally. It provides us with opportunities to accelerate the growth of the company’s broader commercial real estate business, particularly in Asset Services and Agency Leasing. It also complements our occupier business, which is one of the strongest in the country with 70+ contracted accounts,” said Mr. Patterson.

Newly appointed International Director and Head of Capital Markets, Australia and New Zealand, Cushman & Wakefield, Josh Cullen said, “the attraction to our business is the Cushman & Wakefield global platform, and more importantly their strong global focus on Capital Markets. Their recent hires have seen them rise to the top in the US and European markets in relatively quick succession. We want to do the same in Asia Pacific and continue to build the Australian business. With the continued globalisation of real estate investment capital, we see it as an opportunity to connect Australian clients and investment products to global capital sources that maximise return for our owners.”

In addition to Josh Cullen, and Rick Butler, Steve Kearney and Mark Hansen; Claire Zouroudis, Charles Long and Lisa Lee will also join the Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets practice based in Sydney. Inc RE’s total transactions completed in the span of 18 months total US$2.25 billion.
