CBRE announced that it was number one in the suburban Tri-State area in the sales of office, multifamily and retail assets ($20M+).

CBRE Capital Markets closed 34 property sales in the region valued at approximately $1.5 billion in 2018. The 34 transactions are comprised of 19 office/industrial sales valued at $806 million, eight apartment sales valued at $554 million and seven retail sales valued at $175 million.

The 13-member team who specialize in the sale of investment properties in the 18-county suburban market surrounding New York City is led by Jeffrey Dunne and includes Jeremy Neuer, Steve Bardsley, Gene Pride, David Gavin and a strong support team of financial analysts, client service specialists and marketing professionals. The team services a prestigious client base of institutions, corporations, private investors, developers and REITs and has closed over $8.7 billion in property sales in all property types over the last five years.

“2018 was an exceptional year for our clients and our entire team is thrilled to have contributed to their success,” said Mr. Dunne, Vice Chairman, Capital Markets, Institutional Properties, CBRE.

“On the office side, we saw strong demand from investors for newly stabilized, high-profile office assets across the Tri-State area. Multifamily, both nationally and regionally, continued to be a highly desirable product type as demographic trends indicate new renter household formation is outpacing the availability of new housing. Given this macro condition of undersupplied housing, investment in apartments is a primarytarget for institutional, foreign and private investors. The market fundamentals for retail remain strong in our market given the high income, dense demographics throughout the region,” added Mr. Dunne.
