    CBRE Group History

    Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Tucker, Lynch & Coldwell was established on August 27, 1906, and renamedColdwell, Banker & Company in 1940. In 1989, in a leveraged buyout, CB Commercial was spun off from Coldwell Banker as a privately held company, CB Commercial Real Estate Group Inc., which, after financial difficulties, was later acquired by Realogy. Following CB Commercial’s 1998 acquisition of Richard Ellis International Limited, which traced its roots to London in 1773, the company changed its name to CB Richard Ellis.

    In June 2004, CBRE began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2005, CBRE was first recognized as a Fortune 1000 company, and in 2006 it was added to the S&P 500. In late 2006, CBRE merged with Trammell Crow Company in a transaction valued at $2.2 billion.

    In February 2011, CBRE agreed to buy ING group’s real estate investment management business in Europe and Asia and its listed securities business, creating an enterprise with more than $90 billion of assets under management.

    The company changed its name to CBRE Group, Inc. on October 3, 2011.”
