Realty consultant Cushman & Wakefield has tied up with the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), a global trade association of the shopping centre industry, for a global partnership agreement.
The idea behind the agreement is to enhance collaboration and access to in-depth retail market intelligence, the latest thought leadership and industry education opportunities for over 60,000 of ICSC’s global members.
Through the partnership, Cushman & Wakefield and ICSC would be joining forces throughout the year at major global real estate shows and conferences across Latin America, Europe and the US.
“The agreement will see these two parties work together on improving access to and promotion of quality research as they have done with the European Shopping Centre database, industry education events, market expertise and recruitment as well as marketing of significant retail properties and tenant mandates," said a company statement from Cushman and Wakefield.
Michael P. Kercheval, President and CEO, ICSC, said: “Partnering with Cushman & Wakefield will help propel our efforts on a global scale even further through enhanced research, networking, and deal-making initiatives.”
