No deal has been finalized and the discussions could end before such an agreement is reached, sources told Crain’s. The tie-up would see TPG Capital buy Cassidy Turley and potentially form a new international research services company by wedding it to DTZ, a firm under TPG’s management, according to the website.

TPG Capital, along with a group of institutional investors, purchased DTZ, which focuses on the European and Asian property markets, in June for $1.2 billion. [Crain’s]Tom DiChristopher
