About Cushman & Wakefield Ltd.
About Cushman & Wakefield Ltd.
With the United States accounting for 69% of total revenue and the Americas generating 73% overall, Cushman & Wakefield produced $10.3 billion in global revenues in 2025—up from $9.4 billion in 2024—across more than 350 offices in nearly 60 countries. The company's 53,000 employees manage roughly 6.5 billion square feet of commercial real estate globally, positioning it as one of the top three real estate services firms by revenue and workforce.
Cushman & Wakefield's four service lines divide 2025 revenues into Services (66%, recurring property and facilities management under multi-year contracts), Leasing (21%, transactional commissions tied to lease execution), Capital markets (8%, fees from property sales and debt/equity financings), and Valuation and other (5%, appraisal and advisory). Services revenues carry comparatively high switching costs and partially offset Leasing and Capital markets cyclicality, which concentrates in the fourth quarter around year-end transaction deadlines. Leasing and Capital markets professionals in the United States work primarily on commission; EMEA and APAC professionals earn salary plus profit-sharing bonus. About 45% of total employee costs are fully reimbursed by clients. Competitors include Jones Lang LaSalle, CBRE Group, Colliers International, and Newmark Group.

Hybrid working models have structurally shifted office utilization in multiple geographies, and the 10-K notes that some clients delayed real estate transaction decisions in 2025 due to challenging lending conditions and the continuation of hybrid workplace arrangements. At the same time, AI infrastructure growth may expand demand for data center leasing and capital markets services. Approximately 30% of 2025 revenues transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, exposing reported results to foreign exchange fluctuations that the company describes as ongoing.
