Area broker named to Fortune magazine list

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. has been named the 33rd fastest-growing company in the United States, according to a new ranking in FORTUNE magazine. FORTUNE identified the top 100 fastest growing companies in 2007 based on a composite of three-year revenue, earnings per share growth and total return to shareholders.

"As the highest-ranked commercial real estate services provider on FORTUNE's list of fastest-growing companies, CBRE continues to set the pace for the industry," said Larry Foster, CCIM, Managing Broker. "The depth and breadth of our full-spectrum platform- with unparalleled resources and top professional talent located both here in Fort Myers and Naples, and around the globe- enables us to deliver best-in-class solutions to meet our clients' needs."

Additionally, CB Richard Ellis was the 10th-fastest growing firm in America among FORTUNE's "Giant" companies- those large enough to be included in the FORTUNE 1000.

CB Richard Ellis represents approximately 85 percent of FORTUNE 100 companies and offers an unrivaled suite of services including property sales and leasing; corporate services; property, facilities and project management; mortgage banking; appraisal and valuation; development services; investment management; research and consulting and more. The company was responsible for more than $224 billion of property sales and lease transactions in 2006, and the management of more than 1.7 billion square feet of commercial properties and corporate facilities.

Earlier this year, CB Richard Ellis was ranked number 16 on the BusinessWeek 50 "Best-in-Class" companies across all industries. ¦
