Has this been confirmed? I just don't see how it makes much sense when they literally just acquired HFF.
Not confirmed, but definitely seem to be talking seriously about it. Given the numerous headlines, mainly
I was really surprised to hear about CW potentially courting buyers. I'm not sure if they're in more financial trouble than it appears, but I recognize this would be a massive consolidation.
I remember reading that CW was a bit highly levered, which makes me curious about whether or not this is driving down price (due to financial distress, yet will likely drive up EV due to debt to be paid off?) and making a merger / acquisition more attractive. Curious to hear other thoughts
This is going to be a weird dynamic for the top guys in large cities
Very weird.
Especially NYC with Spies/Harmon and NJ with Merin/Cruz.
At least Jose is far more MF focused than Andy is in NJ but guys like David Knee are F'd.
In the city I don't see how the JLL people end up better off. I dont see there being room for Block/Andrew/Karl with Doug and Andrew already at CW.
Obviously there's going to be some business available but some of these guys are successful just because they are an alternative and not under the same roof as each other.
Any chance Newmark gets bought out? Or merged? Don't know the plan for CBRE either. Its insane how the industry has changed in the last couple years.
I could see NKF either getting bought or squashed. We're realistically going to end up with 2-3 larger service providers, and then a whole bunch of boutiques.
Is the reincarnation of a plethora of boutiques a net positive? Seems like it would give more people the opportunity to make good dough in the long term
If this happens then I see it going terribly. Recently left one of these two firms, and these large scale mergers were terrible, we lost a ton of good talent across the board.
