“The U.S. has become one of the most important destinations for Chinese real estate investment. CBRE is proud to be honored by the CGCC for the role that we have played in the mutually-beneficial trade between our two countries,” said Ms. Stacom.

In May 2015, CBRE’s Ms. Stacom, Bill Shanahan and Paul Leibowitz also took first-place prize in the Real Estate Board of New York’s “Ingenious Deal” award for helping to broker a joint venture between Forest City Ratner and China’s Greenland Holdings at Pacific Park, the former Atlantic Yards, in Brooklyn.
According to CBRE Research, Asia Pacific (APAC) institutional investors are expected to pump an additional US$240 billion into world property markets by 2020, with activity led by Chinese groups. This will bring total allocation into global real estate by APAC institutional investors to US$500 billion—nearly double the US$260 billion invested as of end-2014.
