Scope and arrangement
The Cushman & Wakefield printed ephemera dates from 1967 to the 1980s and records the firm's advertising efforts towards corporate clients and commercial brokers. The collection consists of flyers, brochures, information packets, newsletters and form letters sent to commercial brokers and corporate clients from the commercial real estate firm. The materials are separated into ephemera grouped by project location and a folder of mostly form letters directed to brokers and potential clients about spaces in commercial buildings available for lease or purchase.
The ephemera grouped by project location contains information packets (one with photographs), flyers, brochures, floor plans, and newsletters generally addressed to brokers and clients about individual projects managed by Cushman & Wakefield. The projects usually involve leasing, managing, or selling commercial office space in high-rise buildings, and identifying zoned areas for developing commercial properties. The projects are located throughout New York, Oklahoma, Connecticut, and Chicago, Illinois.
The folder of form letters lists mainly properties in Manhattan, with a small number of listings for Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. The letters are addressed to brokers and include commission information. There are similar form letters from Edward S Gordon Company Inc., another New York City-based real estate services firm, scattered throughout the folder. The folder also holds Cushman & Wakefield advertisement flyers, packets listing available building spaces, and rental schedules.
