Our strong global network, deep expertise, and collaborative approach have been key to securing this appointment.
We have invested significantly in our global platform for occupier services, including hiring the best talent, investing in new technology and data, and expanding centres of excellence in key regions. I am pleased that real estate leaders at many of the world's largest and most complex organisations are increasingly choosing Knight Frank to help them deliver on their strategy and navigate a changing world.”
