MIAMI—Even as Avison Young continues acquiring Florida commercial real estate brokerages, other houses are aligning for strength. Berger Commercial Realty has joined TCN Worldwide, a network of independent commercial real estate firms that offer global integrated real estate solutions.

TCN launched in 1989. Over 800 commercial real estate professionals serving more than 200 markets around the world are part of the network. All told, the network posts about $38.8 billion in annual transactions and has over 80 million square feet of space under management. With those kinds of numbers, TCN ranks as one of the largest service providers in the industry.

“Partnering with TCN is a natural extension of our growing regional presence,” says Lloyd Berger, founder and president of Berger. “We are confident this strategic alliance will result in continued growth and will help us establish new relationships nationally and internationally through TCN's network of affiliates and professionals.”

Berger is an independent, privately-owned firm offering brokerage, tenant/landlord and buyer/seller representation, property management, project management and construction management, agency/project leasing; capital advisory/investment sales, retail services and more. The firm was founded in 1998.

“TCN allows us to affiliate with an industry leading network while maintaining our core values, identity and independence,” says Keith Graves of Berger. Berger has offices in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Some brokerages aren't maintaining their independence. Avison Young announced plans to acquire Abood Wood-Fay Real Estate Group, which is currently doing business as Colliers International South Florida, last week. Avison also grabbed Orlando-based Morrison Commercial Real Estate (MCRE).
