C&W Names Four Alliances, Plans up to Five More

NEW YORK CITY-Cushman & Wakefield has added four new alliances to its network and plans to bring four or five more affiliates into the fold. C&W president of US operations Bruce Mosler and Derrick Banks Mashore, head of the firm’s Client Strategies group and Chairman of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance, named the companies this morning.

The new member firms, all located in the Midwest, are Summit Realty Group in Indianapolis, Cincinnati Commercial Realty in Cincinnati, Kessinger Hunter in Kansas City, MO and Northstar Partners in Minneapolis. Cushman will maintain ownership of its Asset Services offices at Cushman & Wakefield of Minnesota while the brokerage end will migrate to Northstar. Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Kansas City are virgin territory for the firm.

All four companies were chosen to grow C&W’s office and industrial base, Mosler said at today’s press conference announcing the alliances, and, like the group’s six other members, will be “wholly integrated members of the firm.” While C&W Alliance firms are not owned by Cushman, they enjoy full access to the C&W platform.
