This is not the only commercial brokerage deal as of late. In June, London’s Savills PLC bought New York’s Studley Inc. for $260 million. The uptick in acquisitions is caused, in part, by the globalization of real estate companies that have opened offices around the world, according to the Journal.

The same group of investors earlier this year announced it would buy the real estate division of UGL, an Australian engineering company, for $1.15 billion. Before the group can buy Cassidy Turley, the UGL deal has to close. [WSJ] — Claire Moses
