Sonne Group and SSE Merge Into Cushman & Wakefield

The Sonne Group Inc., a real estate appraisal and consulting company, and Self Storage Economics (SSE), a division of Sonne Group that specializes in self-storage data, research, market reports, feasibility, valuation and consultation, will merge into Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) effective July 1. The company’s owner, Christian Sonne, has been named managing director within C&W’s Valuation Services, Self Storage Practice Group; and his entire staff will become part of the C&W team. All of Sonne Group’s office and contact information will remain the same.
 
The merger will allow C&W to significantly expand penetration into the self-storage market, with six SSE professionals completing appraisal reports and market studies for that segment nationwide. In addition, Sonne’s group will continue valuation services for commercial, industrial and residential (subdivision and apartment) property types.
