As one of the world's leading property advisers, DTZ is rooted in a long history in the property market, dating from 1784 when one of the predecessor firms, Chesshire Gibson, was founded in Birmingham, UK.

In 1853, Frank Gissing Debenham and Edward Tewson founded Debenham & Tewson in Cheapside, London. A merger in 1913 with Chinnock, Clarke & Chinnock created Debenham, Tewson & Chinnocks, which established itself as a major player in the London property market.

Debenham, Tewson & Chinnocks Holdings plc floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1987, as the parent of the DTZ group of companies. The parent company was re-named DTZ Holdings plc in 1999.

Mergers with Birmingham based Chesshire Gibson Limited and Bernard Thorpe & Partners in 1988 and 1993 respectively, gave the company a strong network of UK regional offices.

The “T” and “Z” of DTZ originate from the company's European joint venture in 1993 with Jean Thouard of France and the Zadelhoff Group in Germany and the Netherlands, where after the company was renamed DTZ.

DTZ took part in further equity consolidation throughout Europe in the 1990s, giving it one of the most comprehensive networks of European offices of any property adviser.

1997 saw DTZ acquire Pieda plc, a UK consultancy business, which was then renamed DTZ Pieda Consulting Limited.

in 1998 DTZ acquired a stake in Dublin-based commercial property consultancy Sherry FitzGerald and in 2000, both firms acquired an interest in leading Belfast commercial agency, McCombe Pierce.

In 1999 following an equity exchange with Asian partners CY Leung & Co and Edmund Tie & Co, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung was formed.

2001 saw the launch of DTZ Corporate Finance Limited and in 2003 DTZ’s French subsidiary acquired a majority shareholding in DTZ Asset Management France.

Throughout 2004 DTZ continued its global growth through the opening of offices in India and Bahrain and its continued expansion into China.

In May 2006 DTZ announced the purchase of a 50% interest in Rockwood Realty, to form DTZ Rockwood. DTZ Rockwood delivers dedicated capital markets services to clients in North America.

In December 2006, DTZ consolidated its Asian operations with the 100% integration of DTZ Debenham Tie Leung in North Asia.

In July 2007, DTZ acquired independent property consultancy Donaldsons in a move which created a market-leading retail offering to clients across the UK and EMEA, reinforcing DTZ's position as one of world's top four global advisers in commercial real estate.

In November 2007, DTZ strengthened its global reach and broadened its client service capabilities in the Americas region with the acquisition of JJ Barnicke, one of Canada’s largest full-service commercial real estate services companies.
