CBRE Group Adds Capstone Financial

Stoffers says CBRE will leverage Capstone’s proprietary technology platform and process “to more efficiently serve our clients.”

LOS ANGELES—CBRE Group said Monday it had acquired the business of commercial real estate financing firm Capstone Financial Solutions LLC, headquartered in the St. Louis area. Terms were not disclosed; the deal enhances CBRE’s debt and structured finance service offering nationally, while providing additional client service advantages in the Midwest.

The acquisition will bring Capstone Financial’s proprietary work-flow technology platform, which enables the firm to shorten processing times for commercial loans, into the CBRE fold. “Capstone Financial’s processes for quickly closing commercial loans will be a valuable asset to CBRE,” says Brian Stoffers, CBRE’s global president, debt & structured finance, capital markets. “We intend to leverage its proprietary technology platform and process to more efficiently serve our clients on their acquisition financing needs.”
