2016 Year in Review: Bruce Mosler, Cushman & Wakefield
Bruce Mosler, Cushman & WakefieldName & Title: Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage
Company Name: Cushman & Wakefield
What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2016?
The ongoing work I do with many of our major clients, including MetLife, Brookfield, RXR, Fisher Brothers, Royal Bank of Canada and WeWork, to name a few. The NYU Langone transaction at 222 East 41st Street is certainly a highlight – we represented them in a 390,000 square foot lease for the entire building.
There are also a number of highlights outside of the commercial real estate sector, including working with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association, overseeing Cushman & Wakefield’s Veteran’s Initiative and my roles as co-chairman of the Intrepid, Sea, Air and Space Museum and chairman of the Business Executives for National Security.
What project, transaction, market trend or product had the greatest impact on your industry this year?
WeWork has had a significant impact on the industry, and in addition to WeWork, the ongoing urbanization of American gateway cities and new workplace strategies to drive efficiencies.
How will you be supercharging your productivity in 2017?
I’m going to continue to provide a best-in-class service to our clients.
What emerging trends will drive investment and development in 2017?
Aside from the continued urbanization of American gateway cities, the desire for the millennial workforce to be in a 24/7 environment. I also believe that there will be ongoing foreign investment in the United States as a safe haven, particularly New York and gateway cities as well as specifically in core assets with little lease up risk.
