Cushman & Wakefield, a global real estate consulting firm, is continuing to expand its Office & Leasing division in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich.
“Cushman & Wakefield is continuing to drive forward staff expansion in strategically relevant business lines. By the fourth quarter of 2025, our Office Agency team, including support staff, will have grown by around 15 new colleagues compared to the end of December 2024,” explains Pierre Nolte, Head of Offices & Leasing Germany at Cushman & Wakefield.Nolte continues: “We are seeing the office rental market continue to pick up and the demand for consulting services increase due to the diverse challenges in the office sector on both the user and owner sides. In the first quarter, sales volume in the ‘Big 5’ cities rose by 16 percent compared to the same period last year. This trend continues in the second quarter. The expansion of our teams is therefore coming at exactly the right time to take full advantage of the market's momentum. Our growth extends to both the teams in the Big 5 cities and the National Team, which serves supra-regional clients throughout Germany.”
At the beginning of 2025, Jonas Kildau joined as an Associate with the Frankfurt office Cushman & Wakefield's National Leasing Team, led by Nicolas Heisig, Head of Office Agency National.
