NEW YORK CITY—New York City is ranked the top global market for CRE according to a November 2018 RCA Global Capital Trends report. But looking at brokers, who’s on top of the world? With GlobeSt.com’s review of Real Capital Analytics data, Doug Harmon, chairman of capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, and his busy team have reason to smile.

GlobeSt.com focused its search on the billion dollar barrier (or close to it at $900 million or more) for sales prices in New York City using the RCA database that dates back to September 2002. GlobeSt.com factored out data for when RCA did not list a brokerage firm. Harmon confirmed he and his team worked on the deals where the brokerages were listed in the database and are referenced in this article.
