What Savills Italy does

Savills Italy is the Italian operating arm of Savills plc, a UK-headquartered global real estate advisory firm founded in 1855. The Italian operations began in 1995 with property management services and have since expanded into a full-service platform covering commercial and residential real estate across advisory, agency, property management, valuation, investment, and tenant representation service lines. The firm operates through five Italian offices—Milan (commercial and residential), Rome (residential headquarters), Florence, and Palermo—serving institutional investors, property companies, retailers, corporate occupiers, hospitality operators, developers, and high-net-worth private clients.

The Italian subsidiary is organized across three sole-quota-holder legal entities—Savills Italia S.r.l., Savills Italy S.r.l., and Savills Residential Italy S.r.l.—each operating under the management and coordination of Savills plc pursuant to Article 2497-bis of the Italian Civil Code. Service delivery combines local market expertise with access to the parent group's network of over 700 offices and more than 42,000 professionals across 70+ countries, enabling cross-border transactions and access to global capital flows. The firm employs approximately 127 people in Italy and has built sector-specialized teams across offices, retail, industrial and logistics, residential, hospitality, new developments, building consultancy, and research.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based commissions on sales, leases, and acquisitions; recurring property management fees for commercial, retail, residential, and business space assets; and professional services fees for valuation (including RICS-compliant), advisory, due diligence, and consultancy work. Pricing is quote-based, varying by transaction value, complexity, and scope, and is not publicly disclosed. The firm supports demand generation through a corporate website (savills.it), an active LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook/YouTube/Twitter presence, regular research publications (Italian Office Spotlight, Retail Spotlight, Logistics Spotlight), and a subscriber newsletter. Technology stack is not explicitly disclosed beyond standard commercial real estate advisory platforms, internal property databases, market research tools, and client management systems.
