Allen Matkins celebrated the holiday season with a regal fete at the California Club in Downtown Los Angeles. The annual affair is always the crème de la crème of commercial real estate professionals. This year's affair received 600 guests to mingle and talk shop between tucking in cuts of prime rib and shrimp cocktail. Allen Matkins partners were among those in attendance—including Mike Matkins, Fred Allen and John Tipton—as well as representatives from Colliers International, John Hancock Real Estate and CBRE. Below is a look inside the annual holiday party and some of the attendees.
