ICSC and Cushman & Wakefield Announce Global Partnership
Cushman & Wakefield and the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) have just taken a bold new step together: the two have announced a Global Partnership Agreement that will see the two working together throughout the new year to enhance collaboration and access to in-depth retail market intelligence, education opportunities and thought leadership for ICSC’s members.
The partnership will be in action at all of 2014’s major shows— RECon, RECon Asia, RECon Latin America, the European Conference and many more. The two have worked together in the past, as John Strachan, Head of Global Retail at Cushman &Wakefield explains.
“We have enjoyed many years of mutually beneficial collaboration with ICSC including research partnerships, participation in conferences, education and specialist retail groups and much more. Over that time we have built up our respective leading international platforms and I am delighted that our growth together has culminated in us becoming the first and only Global Partner of ICSC.”
The agreement will allow the two to improve access to quality research, industry education events, recruitment and more.
“Expanding our global offerings continues to be an important initiative for ICSC,” said Michael P. Kercheval, President and CEO, ICSC. “This partnership solidifies that we have been successful to this point in our global efforts. More importantly, partnering with a globally recognized firm with the calibre of Cushman & Wakefield will help propel our efforts on a global scale even further through enhanced research, networking, and deal making initiatives.”
