Prior to this she worked as an executive director with Cushman & Wakefield’s retail group in New York. Susan, who specialises in developing and executing real estate strategies for major retailers, will work closely with Savills retail leadership teams in North America, EMEA and Asia Pac to expand the firm’s brand worldwide.  David Gialanella and Victoria Oliva also join Savills Studley as executive managing director and managing director respectively. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, David has held senior leadership roles at Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE and DTZ. At Savills Studley, he will focus on building the multi-market and cross-border business to develop new clients and expand existing relationships. Victoria was previously a senior associate at CBRE, where she developed local, national and global retailing strategies for multi-national organisations. Her focus at Savills will be to provide consulting, advisory and transaction services as part of the Savills Studley Global Retail team. Michael Colacino, President of Savills Studley, says: “Savills Studley has developed an unparalleled breadth of advisory services, which is emphasised by the addition of these experienced and talented retail professionals. This team’s broad global experience fits into our plans to integrate our U.S. offering with the international platform of Savills.” Susan Kurland adds: “The Savills Studley brand is defined by innovation and creative problem solving, something we are very much akin to what we see is important in the retail business.” In addition to these new appointments, Bill Bauman who is based at the firm’s Los Angeles office, will take on the role of co-head of Savills Studley’s Global Retail Services Group alongside Susan. Bill currently leads a full service West Coast based team offering a wide range of services including national retail tenant representation, retail land planning, developer consultation and investment sales. Sean Gillies, executive director and head of UK retail at Savills, comments: “I look forward to working closely with Susan and Bill’s teams to find ways we can best serve our client’s needs around the world.  As Savills continues to grow its capabilities worldwide, having such an experienced team on the ground in the U.S. is a tremendous asset.” The new hires come closely on the heels of Savills Studley’s significant expansion of its North American operations, highlighted by the establishment of four new offices in U.S. and the opening of the company’s first office in Canada, as well as the acquisition of several key new hires and services lines across the country.  Source link

As a registered charity, the RIBA relies on income and support from its members, individual donors, corporate sponsors, and trusts and foundations to fulfil its charitable remit and maintain and preserve its world-class collections; RIBA Friends of Architecture will help to provide vital support for the Institute. The RIBA has one of the world’s finest architecture collections. Highlights include the world’s largest collection of drawings by architect Andrea Palladio, the largest body in the world of British architectural drawings: by Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren, Pugin and many others, the archives of prominent architects and architectural practices, a collection of printed books dating back to 1478, complete runs of major journal titles and the largest holding of architectural photographs in the world (1.5 million). Our collections have formed the basis of major exhibitions around the world. The collections are constantly expanding and in 2013 Charles Correa, India’s greatest living architecture gave his archive. In   2006 our collections were designated by the Museums Libraries and Archives Council as being of ‘outstanding national and international importance’; in 2010 the same body awarded the RIBA Accredited Museum status. Our collections can be seen at the RIBA’s headquarters and the RIBA Study Rooms and Architecture Gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum, or by attending one of our talks, exhibitions or learning events for children, students and adults.   In February 2014, we opened a brand new museum-quality Architecture Gallery in our Grade II* listed Art Deco HQ. Through regular, free exhibitions that explore the past, present and future of our built environment, the gallery helps visitors discover and explore architecture.   Posted on Monday 8th December 2014 Source link
