CBRE today announced that it has acquired full ownership of Sogesmaint-CBRE. Sogesmaint-CBRE is one of the most important property and asset management specialist operating in Belgium. CBRE has held a minority interest in the company since 2006.

To maximize the value of their real estate investments, our clients are increasingly seeking expert property management services aligned with high quality investment, leasing and asset management advice. Fully integrating Sogesmaint-CBRE into our Belgian business enables us to further enhance our service offering for the benefit of our extensive domestic and international client base

We are thrilled to be fully joining up with CBRE. Our original relationship since 2006 afforded us access to the group’s substantial global platform, formidable client base and strength across all property sectors. Integrating the CBRE group will reinforce and increase our own clients’ access to this unique network and enable us to enhance the services we offer them. We look forward to further building on the successes of the past few years and further growing our offer to clients within CBRE's strong Property and Asset Management team to consolidate our leading position in Belgium.
