Global real estate advisor Cushman & Wakefield has announced that it has opened an
office in Kiev in Ukraine. The new Cushman & Wakefield Ukraine office opens this week
with a staff of 15 and will offer a full range of property services covering brokerage, capital
markets, advisory and valuation.
The office will be headed by General Director, Bud Moore, who moves from Cushman &
Wakefield Stiles & Riabokobylko in Moscow. Previously, Moore was leasing Director for
AIG/Lincoln in Moscow.
The announcement of Cushman & Wakefield’s new office comes at a time when the Ukrainian
market is becoming increasingly attractive to cross-border investors and leading multinational
corporate occupiers.
Paul Bacon, CEO of Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Our move into the Ukraine builds on our
existing highly successful Central and Eastern European operations including our Russian
operation in Moscow where we currently have over 300 staff. We are becoming increasingly
active in the Ukraine and with our own office in Kiev Cushman & Wakefield will be in a
position to expand the services that it offers both to its local and international clients in
these rapidly developing markets.”
Bud Moore, General Director of Cushman & Wakefield in Kiev said: “Given the rapid growth
in the real estate market in Ukraine and increased demand for our services from local and
international clients, the potential to expand in the region is significant and we anticipate
growing our staff numbers quickly within the next 12 months.”
Cushman & Wakefield is currently retained in Ukraine as the sole, exclusive agents to
Deloitte CIS, Chadbourne & Parke and is active with leading institutional investors
including Scorpio, Dawnay Day and Quinn Group.
Peter Quinn, Director, Quinn Group said: “Cushman & Wakefield is well placed to become a
leader in the Kiev market based on their extensive experience working with international
occupiers and investors.”
Vladimir Vakht, Managing partner, Deloitte CIS said: “Cushman & Wakefield was selected
by Deloitte as our exclusive real estate advisors based on their unmatched real estate
experience and their ability to advise us step by step throughout the leasing process which we
expect to result in lower operating costs.”
