Niche London retail agency Harper Dennis Hobbs has been rebranded Newmark following its acquisition by the US firm in 2019.
James Ebel, vice chairman, head of UK and European retail markets at Newmark, said: “The combined strength of HDH’s proven track record of working with world-renowned retailers across the UK and European retail real estate markets and Newmark’s industry reputation in the USA gives us the ability to leverage world-class advice for our client base and utilise the wider platform to further our service to our clients.”
Newmark said the rebranding would “seamlessly represent the company’s global retail practise and further elevate client service.”
Newmark’s acquisition of Harper Dennis Hobbs began its expansion in London. In April this year it completed its acquisition of London-based real estate advisory firm BH2, led by Tony Gibbon. That business now operates as Newmark BH2.
Rumours of further acquisitions also circulated over the summer, including of agency Gerald Eve. No deal has been confirmed, however.
