“The retail side is like a relatively small company,” Rosenfield tells GlobeSt.com. “The potential is amazing for Cushman & Wakefield to grow.” He adds that much energy will be focused in New York, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago as well as in pursuing opportunities for European retailers who want to break into the US marketplace.Rosenfield founded JS Rosenfield & Co. 15 years ago.
