History

The company was founded in 1954 by Julien J. Studley,[1] and from its foundation represented only tenants.[2]

From 1963 the company published The Studley Report, a monthly survey of New York City's available office space, which helped commercial real estate agents to understand the local market.[3]

In December 2002, Studley and eight partners sold a controlling interest to 40[4] or 45[1] managers and brokers within the company for about $20 million.[4] The buyout was led by Mitchell Steir, who became CEO.[4] The company changed its name to Studley, Inc. in 2003.[citation needed]

In 2014 the company was bought by the UK property company Savills for $280 million; the name was changed to Savills Studley.[5]
