Our proven track record of managing portfolios and property mandates across all asset classes enables us to deliver best in class solutions enhancing property-level performance and capitalising on emerging market trends.”
Cushman & Wakefield’s Asset Services EMEA business is a key pillar of its Investor Services platform, delivering expert property management and related services on behalf of clients across all sectors and responsible for approximately 34 million squares of managed property in EMEA.
Tina Reuter added: “We recognise that the needs of each client or fund is different, so we have designed-in flexibility allowing clients to generate added value as a team and be more efficient, profitable, and agile together. Our investor clients have responded enthusiastically to the level of sophistication we have brought to other value-add services across the region. We are now adopting the same approach to operational asset management solutions for our Investor and Asset Management clients to support their aims of consistent and long-term returns.”
