The arrangement will see Savills and CresaPartners providing a tenant representation service to international clients in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.

CresaPartners comprises over 55 offices across North America with over 775 employees. Headquartered in Boston, it was formed in 1993 and is now North America's largest corporate real estate advisory firm that exclusively represents tenants. Together, Savills and CresaPartners will have a global platform of over 250 offices.

This new strategic alliance with CresaPartners will now enable us to better service the needs of these clients as they expand into new markets,' said Jeremy Helsby, CEO of Savills.

He added: 'It will also give CresaPartners' clients access to the Savills international network of offices in particular our very strong Asian business where we are seeing an increased demand for space from all sectors.'
