East Lansing – CBRE, Inc. and CBRE|Martin announced a mutual decision not to renew their affiliate agreement covering operations in Grand Rapids and Lansing, Michigan.

CBRE and CBRE|Martin have had a positive, long-standing relationship, and both firms expect that relationship to continue.

“CBRE thanks Van Martin and the firm’s professionals for their dedication and efforts in serving clients,” said John Latessa, President, Midwest Region, CBRE (Shown Left). “We wish them continued success.”
“Our organization is and has always been a private, family-owned company. All of our operations and support services are completely independent, so this transition will have minimal impact on our clients or the way we do business,” said Van Martin, Chairman and CEO, Martin Commercial Properties (Shown Right). “We appreciate the 20-year partnership with CBRE. Going forward we remain committed to best in class service to our clients and employees, and we look forward to our next chapter.” CBRE has a wholly-owned office in Detroit, Michigan.
