Darrin Boyd
Managing Director
Cushman & Wakefield
Indianapolis, Indiana


For nearly four decades, Darrin Boyd has been a leader in Indiana’s commercial real estate market, excelling in tenant representation, building sales, agency leasing, and multi-market corporate advisory. Based in Indianapolis, his expertise extends across the globe, shaping major transactions and guiding clients through market shifts with strategic foresight.

Boyd and his team have successfully closed more than 3,000 transactions, representing over $2 billion in consideration and spanning 25 million square feet of office, industrial, and healthcare properties.

Beyond the numbers, Boyd is deeply committed to shaping the future of commercial real estate. He has mentored eight brokers, many of whom have become top producers themselves, cementing his legacy through the next generation of professionals.

“Every decade brings recessions and major market corrections,” Boyd says. “These are the times when the best in our industry stand out. Clients rely on our team even more in uncertain times, and finding creative solutions to their challenges has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.”

Boyd’s career includes landmark deals and global client representation:

Ardagh Group – 3 million square feet of industrial and office transactions across 10 states. Belden – 5 million square feet of industrial and office transactions across 13 countries.

His team has also led agency leasing efforts for some of Indiana’s premier office properties, including Market Tower, The Pyramids, and Salesforce Tower …Indiana’s tallest building.

Boyd’s leadership and performance have earned him significant industry accolades: One of the youngest recipients of both the SIOR and CCIM designations.

One of the youngest founding members & shareholders of Colliers Turley Martin Tucker

which merged into Cushman & Wakefield and went public in 2018.

A founding member of the Indiana Commercial Board of Realtors.

Featured in the Indianapolis Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 and Who’s Who in Commercial Real Estate.

Within Cushman & Wakefield, he and his team are 24-time winners of the Most Closed Transactions Award. He is also a recipient of multiple lifetime achievement honors, including:

  • President’s Club Lifetime Award
  • George C. Charbonneau Leadership & Performance Lifetime Award
  • Distinguished Community Service Award

Boyd attributes much of his success to his dedicated team members including David Moore,

CCIM, SIOR and long-lime executive assistant Katie Ulastick. In 2023, his son Matt Boyd joined the team, further strengthening their client capabilities and reach.

In addition to advising clients, Boyd has invested in commercial real estate himself, a perspective he believes adds unique value:

“Being a landlord provides insights that many brokers simply do not have. It helps me anticipate client needs, ask the right questions, and streamline solutions in a way that truly creates a win-win.”

Boyd’s impact extends beyond real estate. He has been an active leader in the Central Indiana community, serving on multiple boards and initiatives:

Bethany Christian Services, Past President & Board Member Carmel Ethics Board, Founding Member

Carmel Dad’s Club & Skiles Test Youth Sports, Travel Baseball Coach Fishers Building Corporation, Founding Member & Past President Joy’s House, Founding Angel Investor & Board Member

Salvation Army, Indiana Advisory Board & Property Committee

He and his wife Stephanie have served as volunteers for the NCAA Final Four, LPGA, PGA & PGA Tour Champions.

Through his work in real estate, mentorship, and community service, Darrin Boyd continues to shape the commercial real industry and make a lasting impact in business and beyond.
