About

Steffen Gihr is Director at Cushman & Wakefield, based in the firm's Cologne office. He specialises in tenant representation and office leasing, advising occupiers on their real estate requirements across Germany's most significant commercial markets.

Steffen has developed his expertise within the German office leasing landscape, working with occupiers to identify, evaluate, and secure office space that aligns with their operational and strategic objectives. His focus on the tenant side of the leasing process means he brings a clear understanding of occupier priorities, whether navigating a relocation, consolidating a portfolio, or securing new accommodation in a competitive market.

His advisory approach centres on translating occupier requirements into effective real estate outcomes. He guides clients through the full leasing cycle, from initial requirements analysis and market search through to lease negotiation and transaction completion, ensuring that decisions are grounded in current market conditions and long-term occupational strategy.

Steffen's geographic focus is firmly rooted in Germany, with Cologne serving as his primary market. Steffen brings the local knowledge and transactional experience necessary to help occupiers navigate it effectively.

His work sits at the intersection of tenant representation and office leasing advisory, serving a range of corporate occupiers seeking expert guidance on the German office market.
