Cumming Group is pleased to announce its merger with Zubatkin Owner Representation (Zubatkin). The addition of Zubatkin will expand Cumming Group’s New York City headquarters headcount to more than 200 team members, while also growing its presence in Florida. Zubatkin’s unique experience in the institutional sector will enhance Cumming Group’s ability to serve the cultural and educational markets in the United States and Europe.

Complementing Cumming Group’s diverse portfolio, Zubatkin has an extensive mix of iconic projects, including the American Museum of Natural History, 9/11 Memorial & Museum, Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Palm Beach Day Academy, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and One Times Square. As a trusted advisor with approximately $7 billion in successfully managed projects, Zubatkin specializes in supporting not-for-profit institutions, including museums, performing arts centers, educational facilities, and religious institutions, as well as some of New York City’s most prominent private developments.

“The merger of Zubatkin and Cumming Group reinforces several key elements of our growth strategy,” said Derek Hutchison, president, and CEO at Cumming Group. “We are proud to partner with such a talented team that has a proven track record of delivering high-profile, complex projects that improve our communities. We are excited to help them reach their full potential by taking their unique approach and expertise to a broader national and international market.”

As a Cumming Group affiliate, the Zubatkin team will continue to be led day-to-day by Managing Principal Jason Zubatkin, who brings 15 years of experience in the planning and management of complex capital construction projects.

Zubatkin noted, “With a shared client-first approach, we have a solid foundation for a very successful future. The synergy between our combined teams, aligned values, and depth of resources enhances career opportunities for Zubatkin’s team members and translates into delivering an unparalleled level of service for our clients.”
