CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today announced that it has acquired MAN Properties Real Estate Consultants, its affiliate company in Tel Aviv, Israel. The move helps CBRE respond to increased demand from international and domestic clients targeting commercial real estate opportunities in the rapidly growing Israeli market.
Founded in 1996, MAN Properties employs a staff of 28 and has been an affiliate of CBRE since 1999.
