of what we’ve been able to accomplish in 2017 and where we’re at going into 2018. We are starting the new year with a strong global team in place and our regional leaders will continue paving the way for our business and our success. To close out the year, I’m excited to introduce this special holiday issue of The Occupier News. We’ve spiced up this edition to go beyond our traditional features and articles to bring you some fun this holiday season. We rounded up some of our leaders’ old school pictures from childhood and their teenage years – see if you can guess who is who on page 5. As you’re planning ahead for your holiday parties, get creative with new and exciting dishes to serve your guests. On pages 13-27 we feature signature holiday dishes from around the world, which truly reflects our diverse culture – it’s time to get cooking! (Try not to get too hungry when flipping through the pages.) We’ve also put together a list of the must-have holiday gifts featured on pages 7-11 – see which gifts you’re adding to your wish list. Lastly, looking ahead to the new year, we asked some of our colleagues what their New Year Resolutions are and what they would like to do more of in 2018. We also included your business horoscope to help motivate, excite, and empower you for the year ahead. I’m really proud….

Steve Quick Chief Executive Global Occupier Services

Directions

Ingredients

Put all the ingredients in a saucepan along with 300ml (1/2 pint) water.

450g (1lb) fresh or defrosted cranberries

Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 mins until the cranberries are soft and have burst open. Store in a sealed jar until you need to use it and then enjoy on Christmas day.

150ml (1/4 pint) port

100g (4oz) golden caster sugar

1 cinnamon stick

Juice of 1/2 orange

Julskinka SWEDEN

Julskinka, Christmas ham, is the centre piece of a Swedish Christmas buffet - Julbord.

Directions

Ingredients

Set the oven to 200 degrees. Place ham in an oven-proof pot with the onions and carrot. Insert an oven- proof thermometer into the thickest part of the ham, and pour in the water. Bake the ham in the water until the thermometer reads 167 degrees F, about 2 hours. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Prepare the glaze: stir together the egg yolks, honey, espresso, and mustard. Increase the oven temperature to 450. Gently lift the ham out of its water bath and place it on a roasting pan. Carefully remove ham rind. Brush the top of the ham with the glaze mixture, and then top with breadcrumbs. Bake the ham until glaze becomes golden brown, about 8 minutes. Serve sliced, with more mustard for dipping.

3 qt. water

2 onions, peeled and speared with cloves

1 large carrot, chopped

2 egg yolks

1 tablespoon honey

1 shot espresso

1/2 cup mustard (preferably Swedish)

1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs

1 salt-cured fresh ham (6-9 lbs)

A thick cornmeal and smoked ham filling is rolled in blanched cabbage leaves and braised in a paprika-spiked tomato sauce in this comforting Hungarian dish. Töltött Káposzta HUNGARY

Ingredients

Directions

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add head of cabbage and cook, pulling off each outer leaf with tongs as it becomes tender, 2–4 minutes per leaf. Transfer cabbage leaves to a baking sheet; set aside and continue boiling cabbage until you have 12–15 leaves. Cut and discard thick ribs from leaves. Thinly slice remaining cabbage core; set aside. Heat oil in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ham; cook until lightly browned, 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5–7 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups stock; bring to a boil. Whisk in cornmeal and the hot paprika, plus salt and pepper; set filling aside.

Working with one cabbage leaf at a time, lay leaf flat on a work surface with what was the stem end facing you. Place 1/4 cup filling in the centre of leaf. Fold top of leaf over filling. Fold in half crosswise, completely encasing the filling at the top; roll cabbage into a tight cone shape. Place sliced cabbage in the bottom of an 8-qt. saucepan. Arrange stuffed cabbage leaves, overlapping slightly, over top. Sprinkle with sweet paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk tomato paste and remaining stock in a bowl; pour over cabbage. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, partially covered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Transfer stuffed cabbage to a serving platter. Strain sauce, discarding sliced cabbage; spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley, sliced pepper, and sour cream; sprinkle with more sweet paprika.

1 large head cabbage, cored

3 tbsp. olive oil

8 oz. smoked ham steak, cut into 1/4” pieces

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 large yellow onion, minced

5 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 1/3 cups fine yellow cornmeal

1/2 tbsp. Hungarian hot paprika

1/2 tbsp. Hungarian sweet paprika, plus more for garnish

1 tsp. roughly chopped parsley, for garnish

1 Italian frying pepper, thinly sliced into rings and seeded, for garnish

1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste

Sour cream, for serving

Bigos, or traditional Polish Hunter’s Stew, makes a hearty, long-simmered meat-and- sauerkraut stew that goes back centuries and is a national dish of Poland. Bigos POLAND

Directions

Ingredients

Drain the sauerkraut, place it in a medium saucepan, and add 2 cups (480 ml) water and bacon pieces. Cover and boil over medium heat for 20 minutes or longer, until the sauerkraut is very tender and the bacon is cooked. Meanwhile, put the fresh cabbage and dried mushrooms in a separate large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the cabbage is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. Rinse all the meat and pat dry. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and toss the meat to coat. Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil over medium heat in a stew pot large enough to hold all the meat and vegetables. Cook the onion until softened, remove with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tbsp oil to the pot and lightly brown the meat, in batches, over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side, transferring the meat to a plate when it’s done. When all the meat has been browned, raise the heat to high, pour in the wine, and boil briefly, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Return the meat and all its resting juices back to the pot, and add the onion, kielbasa, prunes, cabbage, and the sauerkraut and bacon mixture, along with its cooking water. Salt generously, add several grinds of pepper, and bring to a boil.

1 3/4 lb (800 g) sauerkraut

Turn down the heat, cover the pot with the lid slightly askew, and simmer on very low heat for a good 2 to 3 hours, until the meat falls apart and the broth is rich and brown. Stir the stew occasionally, and ensure that the liquid isn’t evaporating too quickly (add a small amount of water when necessary). Some like a watery bigos, but we find the tastiest outcome is for the sauerkraut, cabbage, and meat all to be practically melted together, with enough sauce to keep everything moist, but not so much that any of the ingredients float, as in a more traditional stew. Serve in a large casserole with a big spoon and thick slices of dark peasant bread. You’ll of course need utensils, but the fun of it is to shovel the bigos and its juices on to the bread. Bigos lasts forever, and gets better with time.

4 strips bacon or, even better, 4 thin slices Canadian bacon, diced

1 small head green cabbage, thinly sliced

Small handful of dried wild mushrooms (any kind)

1/2 lb (225 g) boneless venison, leg, or a stewing cut (not the loin), cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces 1/2 lb (225 g) boneless stew beef, such as chuck, cut into 1-inch (2.5- cm) pieces

1/2 lb (225 g) pork or veal shoulder, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces

1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons vegetable oil or lard

1 medium onion, peeled and chopped

1 cup (240 ml) dry red wine

1/2 lb (225 g) smoked kielbasa or another spicy hard sausage, thickly sliced 1 cup (225 g) pitted prunes, quartered Salt and freshly ground pepper

Bread for serving, preferably rustic and dark, such as a Russian loaf

In many parts of Spain the centre piece of Christmas dinner is the “pavo trufado de Navidad” or Christmas turkey stuffed with truffles. Pavo Trufado de Navidad SPAIN

Directions

Ingredients

Cut the skin of the turkey along the backbone, separate the skin in one piece using the fingers. The skin is elastic and should come away easily. Make fillets of the thickest turkey parts and cut them in strips. Remove the meat from the legs and wings, the breasts should be reserved. Mince the turkey meat (legs and wings) and mix with the pork and veal in a large bowl. Season the minced meat with salt and ground black pepper, also sprinkle with the brandy and sherry, add the ham (jamón serrano) and belly of pork in strips. Add the chopped truffles and their juice too and leave marinate for 4 hours approximately together with the beaten eggs. Of the large bowl remove the sliced truffles, the strips of ham and the belly pork, reserve them. Knead the filling by hand. Spread out the turkey skin on the kitchen table, lay the fillets on top like the pages of a book and cover them with a layer of the minced meat and then with a layer of ham and belly of pork strips then breasts and a layer of truffles slices. Repeat until all ingredients have been used.

1 turkey of 4 or 5 kg

Place the skin with its filling on a napkin, roll it around and sew with large stitches, then tie it into a roll with uncolored string. Into a large saucepan put the roll with the vegetables and the carcass and giblets of the turkey, pour over these the dry sherry. Also add the ham bones, eggshells and the gelatin. Season them with salt and black pepper. Pour 3 litres of cold water and boil for 3 hours. When the roll is cooked remove it from the saucepan. Once the roll is drained remove the cloth in which it is wrapped. Place the roll on a dish and place a chopping board on top, press for 12 hours and put into the refrigerator. Cut the roll into slices 1 cm. thick, serve with puree of apples. The dish can be decorated with plums and slices of fresh pineapples and orange, also you can use maraschino cherries.

Panettone ITALY

This Italian bread is similar to a fruitcake and traditionally served during the holidays.

Directions

Ingredients

To prepare marinated fruit, combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; let stand 1 hour. Drain fruit in a sieve over a bowl, reserving fruit and 2 teaspoons liqueur separately. To prepare dough, dissolve yeast and 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar in warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 1/2 cup flour and next 6 ingredients (1/2 cup flour through egg yolk) in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer 1 minute or until smooth. Add yeast mixture and 1/2 cup flour; beat 1 minute. Stir in marinated fruit, 2 1/2 cups flour, and pine nuts. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.

1/3 cup golden raisins

Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, about 1 1/2 hours. Dough will not double in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; let rest 5 minutes. Divide in half, shaping each into a ball. Place balls into 2 (13-ounce) coffee cans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 1 hour. Uncover dough. Place coffee cans on bottom rack in oven, and bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until browned and loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove bread from cans, and cool on a wire rack. Combine reserved 2 teaspoons liqueur and 1 teaspoon butter; brush over loaves. Sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar. Preheat oven to 375°.

1/3 cup chopped dried apricots

1/3 cup dried tart cherries

1/4 cup triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur) or orange juice

1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)

1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/4 cup warm water (100° to 110°)

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided

6 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted

1/4 cup fat-free milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 tablespoons pine nuts

Cooking spray

1 teaspoon butter or stick margarine, melted

2 teaspoons turbinado or granulated sugar

A “Yule log” is a traditional dessert served near Christmas, especially in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Quebec, and several former French colonies. Made of sponge cake to resemble a miniature actual Yule log, it is a form of sweet roulade. Bûche de Noël FRANCE

Ingredients

Directions

Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Preheat oven to 375°. Coat an 18x13” rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper and lightly coat parchment. Place a large kitchen towel (it should be larger than baking sheet) on a flat surface. Whisk equal parts cocoa and powdered sugar in a small bowl and dust towel with cocoa mixture with a fine-mesh sieve. Sift flour and 1/4 cup cocoa powder into a small bowl. Heat chocolate, oil, and vanilla in a medium microwave- safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring occasionally, until melted. Let cool slightly. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites and salt in a large bowl until foamy. With motor running, gradually add ⅓ cup granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Using clean beaters, beat egg yolks and ⅓ cup granulated sugar in another large bowl until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture until no streaks remain, then use a large spatula to fold in meringue, leaving some streaks. Fold in dry ingredients just to combine – be careful not to overmix. Scrape batter into prepared baking sheet; smooth top (you want to have an even layer). Bake until top of cake is dry and springs back when gently pressed and edges are starting to pull away from sides of baking sheet, 10−12 minutes; let cool slightly. Run a knife along the edge of baking sheet to loosen and invert cake onto prepared towel. Peel away parchment and roll cake into a log inside towel. Transfer, seam side down, to a wire rack and let sit until just barely warm, about 20 minutes.

Shake remaining 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar and 2 Tbsp. hot water in a jar until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in Cognac. Unroll cake and brush top with syrup. For Level 1: Spread whipped cream over top of cake, leaving a 1” border. Roll up cake and place, seam side down, on a platter. Chill until cold, at least 30 minutes.

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 1” slices just before serving.

1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Level 2: Instead of whipped cream, spread Chestnut Mousse over top of cake, leaving a 1” border. Roll up cake and place, seam side down, on a platter. Chill until mousse is set, at least 3 hours.

6 large eggs, room temperature, separated

1/2 tsp kosher salt

2/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 1” slices just before serving.

2 tablespoons Cognac, dark rum, or brandy

For Level 3: Follow instructions for level 2, but do not dust cake with powdered sugar and slice. Instead, using a serrated knife, trim 1/2” of cake from both ends. Working from one end, gently slice off a 2” piece of cake, cutting at a 45° angle. Cut another 2” piece from same end, this time cutting perpendicular to roll to create a squared off end. Dab 1 Tbsp. buttercream on angled sides of each 2” piece of roll and stick to cake to form branches, positioning 1 on top and 1 on the side. Using and offset spatula or butter knife, spread chocolate buttercream over entire outside of roll, leaving cut ends exposed to reveal spiral). Use spatula to create textured lines in buttercream to look like tree bark. Dust with powdered sugar and decorate with meringue mushrooms just before serving.

Lightly sweetened whipped cream or Chestnut Mousse

Chocolate buttercream (optional)

Meringue mushrooms (optional)

Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. The dish is an important part of the national cuisine of both Australia and New Zealand and a popular Christmas dessert. Pavlova AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

Directions

Ingredients

Heat oven to 150C. Using a pencil, mark out the circumference of a dinner plate on baking parchment. Whisk the egg whites with a hand mixer until they form stiff peaks, then whisk in the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, until the meringue looks glossy. Whisk in the vinegar, cornflour and vanilla.

Bake for 1 hr, then turn off the heat and let the Pavlova cool completely inside the oven. When the meringue is cool, chop 100g of the strawberries. Mix them with half the redcurrants and 2 tbsp icing sugar. Place in a food processor, blitz until smooth, then push the fruit mixture through a sieve. Whip the cream

As a traditional German fruitcake with a profound history, it’s no wonder that there are as many variations of stollen as there are people who make it. This version includes a rich filling of marzipan, which adds to the decadence of the bread-like cake. Christmas Stollen GERMANY

Directions

Ingredients

Combine the fruits and orange juice or rum, cover, and set aside at room temperature for up to 12 hours. To prepare the dough: Using a stand mixer, mix and knead together all of the dough ingredients (except the almonds) to make a smooth, soft dough. To make the filling: Divide the marzipan into three pieces and shape each into a flattened 7” log. To assemble the stollen: Knead the fruit and almonds into the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased surface, divide it into three pieces, and shape each piece into an 8” x 6” oval. Place one piece of marzipan down the longer centre of each oval, and fold dough over it lengthwise, leaving the top edge of the dough just shy of the bottom edge. Cover the dough and let it rise until puffy, about 60 to 90 minutes.

3 cups Fruitcake Fruit Blend

While the stollen are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F, with a rack in the upper third. Bake the stollen for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and its internal temperature reads 190°F on a digital thermometer. Remove the stollen from the oven, and brush them with melted butter. After 5 minutes, dust with Baker’s Special (superfine) sugar and/or confectioners’ sugar. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Wrap airtight and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.

1/3 cup orange juice or rum

1 tablespoon instant yeast

3/4 cup warm water

1 large egg

1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup dry milk

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Yileds 3 stollen.

1/2 teaspoon ground mace

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds

3/4 cup marzipan

2 tablespoons melted butter

Place the loaves on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover them, and let them rise for 45 to 60 minutes, until puffy.

Japanese Christmas cake, or Kurisumasu Keki, is a light sponge cake, covered in a layer of whipped cream and decorated with ripe strawberries. A delicious alternative dessert to serve up on Christmas day, and so easy to make as well. Kurisumasu Keki JAPAN

Directions

Ingredients

First preheat the oven to 175°C and butter an 8-inch round cake tin.

50g flour

the egg mixture, making sure to hold the sieve far above the bowl. Gently mix with a wooden spoon. When all elements are mixed, you’re ready to bake. Pop the cake mix into the buttered cake tin and level out the mixture using a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, test that the cake is baked by sticking a knife in. If there’s no residue, it’s all good. Allow to cool on a wire rack and move on to the creamy topping. Add the double cream and sugar to a mixing bowl. Whip the cream vigorously until the mixture thickens to stiff peaks. At this point, separate the cream mixture into two bowls, half and half. One will be for the filling and the other for covering the cake. Cut half the strawberries into thin slices and add to one of the bowls of cream mixture. Return to the cooled sponge cake and cut it in half horizontally. Spread the strawberry and cream mixture on top of one one of the sponge halves, then place the other on top like a glorious Christmas sandwich. Use the other half of the cream to spread around the rest of the cake. Use a spatula to create beautiful peaks on top of your cake, or a pastry bag if available. Decorate with rest of the strawberries.

50g sugar

This recipe uses a double boiler technique to ensure the cake has wonderful lightness, so first fill up a bowl with warm water and set aside. Crack the eggs into another bowl. Whisk (preferably with an electric hand whisk if you have one to hand) the eggs, gradually adding the sugar until combined and dissolved. Place this mixture over the warm water and continue to whisk thoroughly, until the mixture becomes almost white. Put the milk in a microwavable bowl and warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Stir in the honey and whisk into the egg mixture. At this point, sift the flour and baking powder into the mixing bowl with

1/4 tsp baking powder

4 eggs

2 tbsp milk

A great sweet to prepare with the family, Kulkuls are made all over India at Christmas time.

Directions

Ingredients

Mix the flour and baking powder well.

1/2 kg plain flour

Heat the oil in a deep, heavy- bottomed pan on a medium flame.

Add the butter a little at a time, mixing gently.

1/2 tsp. baking powder

When hot, fry the kulkuls in it, making sure to turn often until they are a light golden brown in color. Drain and cool on paper towels. Put the granulated sugar and water in a separate pan and cook until the sugar is fully melted.

2 eggs

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the flour-butter mix.

1 cup coconut cream

Add the powdered sugar and coconut milk to this and mix into a soft dough.

4 tbsp. sugar (powdered)

1 tbsp. butter

Form the dough into small marble- sized balls.

2 quarts oil (or enough for deep frying)

Put the cooled kulkuls into this sugar syrup and coat well.

Grease the back of a fork with some oil and flatten and press a ball of dough onto it. Form a rectangle the length of the back of the fork tines. Starting at the bottom end of the fork, roll the dough up the tines and off the fork and into a tight curl. The end result will be a tube-like curl with the design from the fork on it. Work the remaining dough similarly until it is all used up.

1 cup sugar (granulated)

Remove and allow them to sit on a plate until the sugar is encrusted on the kulkuls. When fully cooled, you can store the ​ kulkuls for a considerable amount of time if kept in an air-tight container.

3 to 4 tbsp. water

CANADA Mulled Wine

When the temperature drops, there’s only one thing to do: grab a chunky knit sweater and a bucket-sized serving of this toasty mulled wine.

Directions

Ingredients

Peel large sections of peel from the clementines, lemon and lime using a speed-peeler. Put the sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the pieces of peel and squeeze in the clementine juice. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick and about 10 to 12 gratings of nutmeg. Halve the vanilla pod lengthways and add to the pan, then stir in just enough red wine to cover the sugar. Let this simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved into the red wine, then bring to the boil. Keep on a rolling boil for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until you’ve got a beautiful thick syrup. This will create a wonderful flavour base by really getting the sugar and spices to infuse and blend well with the wine.

2 clementines

When your syrup is ready, turn the heat down to low and add your star anise and the rest of the wine. Gently heat the wine and after around 5 minutes, when it’s warm and delicious, ladle it into heatproof glasses and serve. It’s important to make a syrup base first because it needs to be quite hot, and if you do this with both bottles of wine in there you’ll burn off the alcohol.

1 lemon

1 lime

200 g caster sugar

6 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 whole nutmeg , for grating

1 vanilla pod

2 star anise

2 bottles Chianti or other Italian red wine

Christina Urwand , Human Resources Manager and Professional Real Estate Program Manager, answered our questions.

Why is the PREP Program unique? PREP is currently the only rotational and development program in the CRE industry. This program provides the foundation to a successful career in an industry that provides so many services. The rotational platform gives first-hand exposure to the services each division provides, daily goals, and challenges. The trainings enable early-in-career talent to build the education components they need in order to grow quickly in a fast paced environment. What’s one misconception about the program? PREP associates are not interns, but are highly-recruited talent that are given associate-level workloads. PREP associates are talent the company is investing in for a full year in order to place them in the best position as possible. What’s your favorite part of working with the PREP Program? Watching the talent grow in their CRE knowledge and experience throughout this quick 12-month timeframe. These associates are the most collaborative and driven young professionals, within the PREPs first six months they know every division leader and key players on every team, they are a rush of innovative energy.

What is the PREP Program? The PREP Program is Cushman & Wakefield’s National Rotational and Development program. It’s a one year long program with two month rotations through six service lines, a full training curriculum implemented throughout the year, and constant networking opportunities. Who gets accepted into the program? Campus recruitment takes place at universities with the top ranked real estate programs, in order to qualify for this highly competitive program candidates must have completed an internship in the real estate industry, maintain an average above 3.0, exude an entrepreneurial spirit, and have the drive and interest in pursuing a career in CRE. What does the typical day of a PREP associate look like? The program starts with one full week of orientation exposing new associates to all services Cushman & Wakefield provides to our clients, mentor events, team building exercises, and a networking event to get associates fully integrated. After orientation week, associates start in fundamental rotations, which include two weeks with the business development division, two weeks with the research team and two weeks canvassing the local market. During this time, associates work closely with the program manager and develop their personalised rotation schedule for the rest of the year. The typical day of a PREP associate depends on their rotation assignment. It can include anything from leading investment sales tours of buildings, underwriting sites for the capital markets projects, cold calling with some of the counties

CoreNet Global Seattle Summit 2017

Educational Sessions Three of our subject matter experts – Sean Prasad, Bill Roberts, and Alex Spilger – presented on topics that drew quite the crowd. Academic Challenge We were a proud sponsor of this year’s Academic Challenge. The energy of the young leaders was refreshing – what great ideas they have. The global competition connects local chapters and members of the association with future talent and encourages more universities to include CRE in their curricula. Three teams were selected to compete for a grand prize of $5,000. Global Survey As the official polling sponsor, we were the only service provider to get stage time during the opening ceremony. This year, we focused on the much-talked- about disruptor – driverless vehicles. Steve Quick spoke at the opening session and urged attendees to take our poll. As he mentioned, driverless cars are coming and they’re coming fast!

We came, we saw, we conquered. The CoreNet Global Summit in Seattle was a total success for our firm! Keep reading to learn why.

Branding Our industrial-inspired booth style stood apart from our competitors and others. It was consistently packed with clients, friends, and colleagues. Our massive chalkboard backdrop designed live for visitors to watch was a show stopper. The booth included polling stations, corporate videos, seating areas, and delicious Cushman & Wakefield branded candy. It was the place to be. Events The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) hit capacity because so many people wanted to attend our Centennial Gala. Attendees were greeted by a massive 66 x 36 ft screen playing music videos – the DJ was incredible. Guests also had the opportunity to check out some of the exhibits including the David Bowie showcase. As usual, it was the most talked about event of the Summit and we made sure it lived up to its name.

Michael Casolo spoke at the closing session, where he presented key findings and raffled off a GoPro Hero 5.

We’ll be working with CoreNet Global to publish the full report including the EMEA and APAC findings later this year – stay tuned!

NYC Real Estate Tech Week and PropTech Summit

Corenet Global Singapore Symposium

Cushman & Wakefield was a significant participant at this year’s Corenet Global Singapore Symposium. The theme for the symposium this time was “Make CRE Great Again – Value in the Digital Age,” which focused on value creation and what it means in the digital age. Recognising the program’s cache in the industry, Cushman & Wakefield reserved two tables for clients such as IBM, Teradata, Polycom, RedHat, and GSK. Chris Browne, Chua Ming Lee, Evvanna Chua, Brigid Chan, Brandon Aitken, Daniel Whitmore, Doris Kuek, Andrew Carmichael, and Sigrid Zialcita were the delegates from Cushman & Wakefield. The main theme of the Symposium was explored through an activity-based session that engaged the audience to work together to identify perspectives relating to the value provided by CRE teams in the digital age. Ming Lee , Head of Account Management and Service Line for GOS, was part of a panel that led a lively discussion that asked “Is Cost More Important than Value in Corporate Real Estate?” “The event represents a great platform for the firm to deepen their relationship and add value to its clients,” said Evvanna Chua , Director in Transactions Management for GOS and a Treasurer at CoreNet Global’s Singapore Chapter.

New York City buzzed with techy excitement during October’s 2017 NYC Real Estate Tech Week and PropTech Summit, where more than 800 attendees, 40 speakers, and 100 PropTech companies from around the world gathered to discuss innovation in CRE and the evolution of PropTech. Cushman & Wakefield was a sponsor and the event was co-hosted by PropTech startup incubator and Cushman & Wakefield innovation partner MetaProp NYC. Both groups provided panelists and speakers. Panels and presentations around office and retail tech as well as real estate data, plus a Shark Tank- style startup competition anchored the summit. Additionally, the event allowed exploration of new frontiers for facility management. “This event provided a forum for us to talk about our forward-thinking facilities management approach,” said panelist Colette Temmink , who leads Global Occupier Services’ (GOS) Americas Integrated Facilities Management platform. “The chance to share and listen to new ideas broadens our thinking and deepens our impact.”

Following are top technology-enabled trends called out by MIPIM speakers and panelists:

• Creating distinctive office experiences in line with digital expectations of the hospitality industry.

• Digging into data about buildings and transactions for insights that shorten processes and predict client needs. • Answering tenant demands for flexible space delivered quickly, allowing tenants to grow or contract nimbly, enabling collaboration, and supporting company culture.
