“The joining of forces between Merx and Savills represents a significant next step for the business that we have built and nurtured for more than 20 years,” said Merx CEO William Forwood in a statement.

“We continue to see our clients require more sophisticated consultancy services, as well as tailored advice. In this context, the Merx deal aligns perfectly with Savills objective of building out a best-in-class capability to support our clients in the region,” said Adam Evennett, Head of Savills Tenant Advisory and Occupier Services platform in APAC.

“Project Management, as a service line in its own right, is key to our strategy for the region, as well as providing support and technical input to other service lines: transactional, property management and consulting services,” noted Christian Mancini CEO, Savills Asia Pacific (ex-Greater China).
