CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. Acquires India Affiliate



    CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) today announced the
    acquisition of a majority interest in CB Richard Ellis South Asia Pte
    Ltd (CBRE India), a CB Richard Ellis affiliate company that is a
    premier, full service provider operating in 30 cities across the
    rapidly growing India market.

    CB Richard Ellis' expansion in the India market comes at a time of
    strong economic activity, continued growth of FORTUNE 500 corporate
    space occupiers, loosened restrictions on foreign investment resulting
    in higher capital flows into real estate, and increased commercial and
    residential real estate development.

    CBRE India, based in Delhi, has been the CB Richard Ellis
    affiliate in India since 1994, and today has a staff of over 1,000
    professionals providing a full spectrum of real estate services,
    including Leasing, Property and Facilities Management, Investment
    Sales, Project Management, Consulting Services and
    Valuation/Appraisal.

    Over more than a decade, CBRE India has executed more than 22
    million sq. ft. of leasing transactions and approximately 30 million
    sq. ft. in project management assignments, and advised major
    corporations throughout the world on their real estate strategies in
    India. For example, CBRE India has arranged lease transactions for
    global companies including Goldman Sachs, Cisco Systems, McAfee and
    JPMorgan Chase and Hewlett-Packard. CBRE India also manages 40 million
    sq. ft. of commercial properties and corporate facilities.

    Robert Blain, President of CB Richard Ellis Asia-Pacific, said:
    "The acquisition of CBRE India fits perfectly with our strategy of
    achieving the leadership position in major business centers around the
    world. We see India - along with China and Japan -- as one of the key
    drivers of our growth in Asia. We have worked closely with CBRE India
    as our affiliate, and have now cemented even closer ties as the
    economy and real estate market in India continue to boom."

    Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and Managing Director of CBRE India,
    said: "CB Richard Ellis is the world leader in commercial real estate,
    and our new status as a majority owned operation will enable us to
    better tap into a wealth of resources and the industry's most
    extensive and capable global platform. We are very enthusiastic about
    this move, and look forward to expanding the range of services we can
    offer our clients - in India and around the world."
