CBRE's Central Florida Multi-Housing Group Still #1 Apartment Brokerage Team in Orlando


ORLANDO, FL--CB Richard Ellis is pleased to announce that its Central Florida Multi-Housing Group retained its position as the #1 apartment brokerage team in Orlando in 2009 with more than $104 million in local sales.

CBRE closed more than twice as many transactions in Central Florida as its nearest competitor for the third straight year.


The assets sold range from “value-add” opportunities built in the 1970s and ‘80s to newer projects built within the last ten to fifteen years. CBRE also sold several “fractured” deals – communities that converted and sold units as condominiums and reverted the remaining units back to rentals.

For further information, please contact the Central Florida Multi-HousingGroup of CB Richard Ellis.
