This Los Angeles-based company has grown significantly over the course of its 101-year history. Over the past decade, CB Richard Ellis was responsible for a number of headline-grabbing acquisitions, most notably its 2003 purchase of Insignia Financial Group and last year’s $2.2-billion deal for Trammell Crow Co. Company president and CEO Brett White says acquisitions such as these, as well as its organic growth, have made CBRE what it is today. Also, the implementation of an integrated global platform has helped the company meet the needs of its clients worldwide, the executive adds. Earlier this year, CBRE announced an ambitious plan to become carbon neutral by 2010. “The insights we are gaining through this process are being put directly to work for our clients—through energy efficiency programs at the properties we manage,” White says. “With more than 1.7 billion sf under management globally, we have the opportunity to make a material impact on the environment and on our clients’ bottom lines.” A Fortune 1000 company, CBRE went public on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2004 and was named to the S&P 500 Index in 2006. The company specializes in strategic advice and execution for property sales and leasing; corporate services; property, facilities and project management; mortgage banking; appraisal and valuation; development services; and investment management.
