PORTLAND-Steven Klein, who left his post as Insignia's top local executive, isn't talking about his new plans until later this week. They could involve George Slevin, whom Klein recruited from Macadam Forbes in June 2002 to be Insignia's first Portland-area industrial broker.

NEW YORK CITY-The waiting is over and the CB Richard Ellis and Insignia Financial deal is on the fast-track to closing. That event is expected to happen tomorrow.

ORLANDO-Regions Bank sells orphaned 43,000-sf building in suburban Apopka to Wiretec Wire World Inc.'s investment group for a recorded price of $568,500. As part of the deal, Metro One Development Co. principal Jay Rohr buys the nine acres behind the facility for $282,000, or $31,333 per acre (72 cents per sf).

DALLAS-Ross Perot Jr. wastes no time in backfilling a hole from a developer who took a bye a few months ago. Starwood and Gatehouse Capital will help debut a plan with a 251-room W Hotel, 94 condos, 25,000 sf of retail and some office space.
