Savills announces new D.C.-region leaders

Amy Kaufman Brendler and Jon Glass have been appointed executive vice presidents and co-leads of commercial real estate brokerage Savills‘ Washington, D.C., region, which includes the McLean office, the company announced Monday.

Tom Fulcher, who was named mid-Atlantic region lead for Savills in 2021, will be stepping back from his regional leadership role, according to the news release. Fulcher, who joined Savills in 1986, will remain actively involved in brokerage.

Brendler launched her commercial real estate career at Savills, when the firm operated as Studley. She went on to work for 16 years as managing director at the Washington, D.C., office of New York real estate firm Tishman Speyer, where she led leasing strategy across 4 million square feet. She also served as a senior vice president at CWCapital, a Washington, D.C., real estate finance and investment management company.

Glass, an economics graduate of Tufts University, joined Savills in 2007 as a financial analyst. He also worked as a senior associate in Washington D.C., for Cresa, a real estate advisory firm with headquarters in Chicago, for four years, according to his LinkedIn profile.

“Savills DC has always been one of the firm’s most important and high-performing markets,” David Lipson, CEO of Savills North America, stated in the news release. “We’ve built our success here by nurturing top talent and promoting from within — something that was true of my journey years ago. I’m looking forward to Amy and Jon stepping into these roles and continuing our tradition of excellence, collaboration, and innovation.”
