New branding launch for top estate agency

The well-known DTZ Sherry FitzGerald nationwide estate agency has been rebranded as Cushman & Wakefield.

The formal affiliate appointment follows the 2015 global merger of Cushman & Wakefield and DTZ. Sherry FitzGerald Group had been DTZ’s Irish partner since 1998.

The partnership brings together Cushman & Wakefield’s global platform and Sherry FitzGerald’s deep expertise across Ireland’s commercial property market.

Cushman & Wakefield is a top three global real estate services firm, with some 43,000 employees in more than 60 countries, recorded revenue of over $5 billion, 4.3 billion square feet under management and $191 billion in global transactions.

The Sherry FitzGerald Group business has 650 employees in 97 offices and a presence in every county in Ireland. The newly-branded Cushman & Wakefield has a 100-strong team working out of offices in Galway, Dublin, Cork and Limerick.

Aidan Gavin, Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield Ireland, said: “This is a very significant watershed for our business. This is more than a rebranding exercise, it gives us access to many new services and opportunities driven by the scale of the merged Cushman & Wakefield business.

“Being the Irish arm of one of the top three global firms gives us access to many more occupier enquiries, finance, market intelligence, research and experts, than ever before.

“One of our new service areas, is the substantial debt advisory services which Cushman & Wakefield offers, this is a new offering for us that is now an integral part of every property transaction.”

Colin Wilson, Head of UK & Ireland for Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Ireland has steadily emerged from a recession stronger than before, and it is a very important market for us.”
