Cushman & Wakefield Inc. will bring its 5-year-old New Jersey Consulting Group to Westchester and to Fairfield County, Conn., to service corporate and commercial real estate clients. The group”™s suburban rollout also includes Long Island.
Robert Rudin, Cushman & Wakefield vice chairman, who started the consulting group as a new service line for its New Jersey operation when he joined the firm in 2005, heads the team of financial and project management professionals from its East Rutherford, N.J., office. The group employs a proprietary, Six Sigma-led process model to guide an organization through its real estate decisions, coupling consultation with detailed financial analysis and real-time market information.
“Our methodology is designed to provide a complete understanding of the financial and non-financial implications involved in real estate transactions, and to deliver streamlined, fully developed real estate recommendations,” Rudin said in a statement. “In this respect, we support Cushman & Wakefield”™s brokerage professionals in guiding their clients down a clearly defined path for leasing, buying or disposing of commercial real estate.”
The group recently completed a project for Qualcomm Inc. and manages the national portfolio of New Jersey-based Selective Insurance Group Inc. The team is working on its third assignment for New Jersey-based developer Hampshire Real Estate Cos.
“We have a deep bench with strong hands-on practice,” Rudin said. “Our diversified skills provide us with the tools needed to strategically plan and implement real estate transactions, from scenario planning, variance analysis, market analysis, and book and cash comparative transaction models, among other competencies. We are looking forward to our expanded role and the opportunity to further establish our value within the Cushman & Wakefield organization.”
