Savills Acquires Eastdil Secured in £880M Deal to Build Global CRE Advisory Powerhouse

The acquisition of Eastdil Secured marks a transformational step for Savills, combining its global advisory brand with Eastdil's dominant position in large-lot US and international CRE capital markets. Eastdil is widely regarded as the leading independent real estate investment bank for institutional-scale transactions. The equity stake granted to senior Eastdil staff aligns long-term incentives and reduces retention risk in a relationship-driven business. The deal is projected to produce £60 million-plus in annual revenue synergies through cross-referral of mandates across geographies and service lines.
