About

Jan Philipp Merten is Associate at Cushman & Wakefield, based in the firm's Düsseldorf office. He specialises in tenant representation and office leasing, working with occupiers to navigate the German commercial real estate market with clarity and strategic precision.

His professional focus sits within the office sector, where he supports occupiers across the full lifecycle of real estate decision-making. This encompasses initial market analysis, location selection, lease negotiation, and the broader strategic considerations that inform how organisations structure and commit to their workspace requirements.

Jan's advisory approach is built on a detailed understanding of occupier needs and how they translate into real estate outcomes. He works closely with clients to identify suitable options within the market, assess the commercial terms of available opportunities, and negotiate solutions aligned with long-term business objectives. His work spans both established office districts and emerging submarkets across the Düsseldorf region.

His geographic coverage centres on Düsseldorf and the surrounding North Rhine-Westphalia market, one of Germany's most economically significant office corridors. The region's concentration of corporate headquarters, professional services firms, and international occupiers creates a dynamic leasing environment that demands both local intelligence and a structured, client-first perspective.

Jan's sector focus remains firmly centred on the office market, where he represents tenant interests in a competitive and evolving landscape. His work reflects Cushman & Wakefield's commitment to delivering occupiers well-informed, commercially sound real estate advice tailored to the specific demands of the German market.
