New leader for Cushman & Wakefield's Philadelphia office



Mike McCurdy, who has spent the last nine years heading up JLL’s Philadelphia office, has jumped to Cushman & Wakefield and will serve in a similar leadership capacity.

The new appointment comes as John Derham leaves Cushman & Wakefield effective March 28, according to a statement released by Cushman & Wakefield. Derham spent two decades with the commercial real estate brokerage and 16 of those years were leading its Philadelphia operations.

McCurdy joined JLL when the firm had taken a lower profile and was charged with re-establishing its local presence. It appears that he will arrive at Cushman & Wakefield with a similar mission. He will assume the title of managing principal and oversee a territory that includes Philadelphia and its region, the central part of Pennsylvania as well as South Jersey.

Leadership changes at Philadelphia’s large commercial real estate firms don’t happen too often. A more recent example took place in late 2014 when Steve J. Cousart, a real estate veteran with more than three decades of experience, was named to lead the Philadelphia-area operations of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. He replaced Bob Clements, who retired. Cousart joined NGKF from the local office CBRE Inc.
