Savills has come a long way in just the last few months, beefing up its capabilities by absorbing one of the hardest-hitting brokerages in the U.S.

In March, Savills clinched a $1.1 billion deal with Guggenheim Investments, Temasek Holdings and Wells Fargo to buy Eastdil Secured, providing the Roy March-led firm with its extensive exposure to the Asia-Pacific markets and in turn making Savills a major player in the New York City capital markets.

In November, it upped its game in the booming retail market by creating the U.S. retail advisory services platform led by Todd Siegel and creating an operations performance arm to help industrial site owners plan, design and operate properties, working alongside its supply chain solutions group.

“This past year, Savills has grown deliberately across North America by expanding our capabilities, investing in key markets, and strengthening the platform in ways that better serve our clients,” Janet Woods, Savills’ North America president, since 2024, said in a statement. “From launching our U.S. retail advisory platform and operations performance capability to growing our integrated services through Savills’ relocation management and continuing to invest in offices across the region, every step has been intentional,” Woods said.

In August, Savills also acquired Hoffman, a management consultancy for relocating commercial tenants, and Compustall Services, a technology provider for companies shifting locations. Savills plans to incorporate the two firms into its tenant services.

In March 2025, it expanded its capabilities into the Caribbean with a partnership with Puerto Rico-based tenant advisory firm CRES.

Savills has signed major real estate deals in Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington D.C., Chicago and Dallas as well as helping clients sublease in New York City with a 51,220-square-foot lease for AI-powered cybersecurity company Adaptive Security at 120 Broadway in April 2026. It also brokered a 48,451-square-foot lease with law firm Robinson+Cole at 100 Park Avenue around the same time.
