Savills Studley, which operates under the umbrella of London-based Savills, has more than 600 offices worldwide. In Manhattan, it was the fifth-biggest office leasing brokerage last year, with 3.7 million square feet of deals, all on the tenant side.

In The Real Deal‘s ranking of the top 40 investment sales firms in 2017, Savills Studley placed 39th with $47.9 million in dollar volume across seven deals.

“I am confident that in Mitch Rudin we have found the best possible candidate to replace Michael as president,” Savills Studley CEO Mitchell Steir said in a press release.

In 2017, Rudin was demoted from his position as CEO at Mack-Cali. He was previously CEO of Brookfield’s commercial operations until spontaneously exiting that post in 2014.  [NYP] — Will Parker
