“Cushman & Wakefield is a respected leader in commercial real estate and these hundreds of new jobs are a big win for St. Louis,” said Missouri Governor Jay Nixon. “This significant investment and continued growth is a testament to the strength of Missouri’s positive business climate for professional services companies.”

Cushman & Wakefield has been in St. Louis for 90 years, with more than 900 employees already in the area.
