Savills announces the acquisition of Hoffman, a leading move management consultancy, along with Compustall Services, Inc., a technology relocation services provider. The acquisition of both companies marks a continued expansion of the firm’s integrated service platform, providing clients with a single, seamless solution for planning and executing complex workplace transitions across sectors and geographies.
“In the spirit of continuity, stability and growth for our team and our clients, I’ve decided it’s the right time to join a global company led by people I know and trust,” said Rick Hoffman, founder of Hoffman, now serving as President of Savills North America Relocation Management. “We’ve worked with Savills for decades. They understand our business and share our values. With their global platform and resources, we’re positioned to grow together in powerful ways.”
Founded in 1987 in New York City, Hoffman began as a specialist in office relocations and has since evolved into a nationally respected consultancy serving a broad range of industries and space types, including headquarters, hospitals, labs, trading floors, media studios and academic campuses. The firm manages both single-site and portfolio-wide relocations, overseeing projects totaling approximately 10 million square feet annually. Compustall Services, Inc. specializes in the management of seamless IT transitions during workplace relocations.
Rick Hoffman and his leadership team will continue to oversee the business as part of Savills Relocation Management.
“Hoffman has long collaborated with Savills on cross-client relationships in legal, healthcare, education, and other sectors where workplace transitions are mission-critical. We are pleased that Rick and his leadership team will be staying on to lead this service,” said David Lipson, CEO of Savills North America. “This acquisition allows us to offer essential relocation services that impact the employee experience across the life of a lease. When done well, these services enhance productivity and engagement, and we are proud to welcome one of the industry’s best providers to the platform.”
Savills Relocation Management will work with clients through every stage of occupancy, from move-in to ongoing transitions and end-of-lease decommissioning, further extending the firm’s ability to support clients across the full lifecycle of occupancy. Savills clients will gain access to an expanded suite of services, including planning, logistics, relocation, activation, technology support, storage, and decommissioning, delivered through a consistent, scalable process nationwide.
“Hoffman is a long-time trusted partner to several of our clients, and we are proud to have them aboard. Together, we are building upon an established working relationship and a shared commitment to service, ” said Michael Glatt, President, Savills North America Project Management. “The team will work closely with Savills Change Management and other consulting practices to deliver integrated, end-to-end support for complex transitions.”
