Our SPG network of professionals is able to fulfill client needs across North America, providing services capabilities that stress market knowledge, experience, quality commercial real estate practices and great accountability to the client. For more than 19 successful years, the SPG has offered expertise through combining its own unique industrial knowledge with the depth of the CBRE platform, traditional real estate brokerage and local community and provincial/state economic development. The Special Properties Group works primarily with properties 100,000 square feet and larger, or with those that employ 50 or more people. Properties such as these are identified and routinely tracked within the group. Through a specialized database and strategic relationships with government officials, The Special Properties Group also has the ability to track demographic information, as well as tax and labor rates. The benefits clients obtain through working with the Special Properties Group are maximum exposure and presence through properties marketed to the broader CBRE network. Our clients also benefit from our network as well as reliable accountability, as we ensure one or more of our members will always be in attendance at building showings.

ACCOUNTABILITY Community Driven The Special Properties Group combines world-class brokerage services with a unique understanding of the significant impact these facilities have on the local economy and community. We know that to the surrounding community, these properties are not simply buildings. To the local residents and municipalities, these properties are truly special. They are a source of livelihood, economic growth and community pride. For the residents, these properties represent a place where neighbors, friends and family work. For the municipalities, they represent a business that pays taxes allowing the community to thrive and provide services and infrastructure to its citizens. The Special Properties Group understands all of this, and brings a unique level of passion and sensitivity to the traditional real estate brokerage process. Our group members choose to specialize in this niche and thus have a truly personal interest in successfully transitioning these properties to a new owner or new use, or a combination of both.
