In 2003 Cushman & Wakefield became the first global real estate services firm to open an office in the Thames Valley, to provide best in class advice to our clients across the region.
The Thames Valley team provides office and industrial agency services to property investors, developers and occupiers and we are proud to be involved with market leading real estate projects and leasing transactions.
Charles Dady, International Partner leads the office and is also responsible for national office leasing within Cushman & Wakefield in the UK. He has specialised in commercial agency for over 30 years, advising on major disposals, acquisitions and development projects.
The team has recently moved to Adapt at Uxbridge Business Park which is managed by Cushman & Wakefield’s flexible workspace team on behalf of Arlington. Charles commented: “We are excited to have moved our Thames Valley office to a stimulating new environment which reflects our agile working ethos and the way we advise our clients."
The team’s track record in the Thames Valley is second to none and we have been involved in some of the region’s most transformative projects and strategic transactions:
