Andrew Cummings
Spear’s Review
Former Knight Frank partner Andrew Cummings joined Savills in 2024 to lead and grow the firm’s residential property business in the Middle East.
Based in Dubai and overseeing seven offices across the region, Cummings tells Spear’s that there is no sign of business slowing down. ‘Dubai is the hottest real estate market in the world,’ he says, highlighting plans to also expand the team’s services in Abu Dhabi and Oman.
Cummings’ early career was spent working for the British government on national security matters across the MENA region. After a stint as an adviser to the King of Bahrain, he shifted from diplomacy to real estate. Under his leadership, he says, the Savills Middle East residential team grew from two to 100 and generated over £20 million in revenue in its first year.
