Real Estate Alert Ranks Cassidy Turley Third in National Office Sales

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cassidy Turley, a leading commercial real estate services provider in the U.S., announced today that the company ranked third in Real Estate Alert's mid-year 2011 Top Office Brokers rankings.  Cassidy Turley's growth in capital markets increased the firm's ranking in 2011.  For the first six months in 2011, Cassidy Turley had $1.8 billion of office sales activity.  For the full year in 2010, Real Estate Alert ranked Cassidy Turley sixth with $1.2 billion in office sales activity.

The rankings are based on office sales of at least $25 million collected by Real Estate Alert from commercial real estate firms operating throughout the U.S.

"Cassidy Turley's investment sales business in the first six months of this year has already exceeded total transaction volume for 2010," said William M. Collins, Executive Managing Director, Principal at Cassidy Turley. "This growth is being driven by a wide range of domestic and foreign investors including life companies, public and private REITs, investment funds, pension fund advisors and wealthy individuals."

Contributing to Cassidy Turley's growth in 2011 were several benchmark sales in Washington, DC, including the National Press Building which contained approximately 420,000 square feet of office and retail space and sold for $167.5 million. Other recent transactions contributing to the firm's improved ranking include the sale of an approximately 1 million square foot office portfolio owned by Duke Realty Corporation–consisting of two Cincinnati Class A central business district buildings and three Nashville Class A suburban buildings–for $97 million.

For the third quarter 2011, Cassidy Turley is projected to close nine deals, totaling more than $1 billion in sales transactions and 5.7 million square feet.
