<description><![CDATA[London, 09 March 2010 – Office occupiers in several markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) are still well-placed to negotiate favourable terms with landlords, according to latest office and market research from CB Richard Ellis (CBRE).

With landlords reluctant to lose tenants and risk voids, large occupiers who represent significant parts of a landlord’s portfolio are in a particularly strong position to negotiate.

<link><![CDATA[http://www.cbre.eu/emea_en/news_events/news_detail?p_id=2779]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. today announced that, as expected, the European commercial real estate investment market continued its fall with turnover for the first quarter (Q1) of 2009 totaling €11.5 billion. This level of activity marks a sharp decline from the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2008, which saw market activity of €20.6 billion, and reflects, among other things, the continuing impact of Lehman Brothers’ collapse last September on investor sentiment. Despite the sharp fall in activity, a slowing rate of decline in the UK and a pick-up in activity in several other European markets suggest investor sentiment may be starting to improve. The UK’s share of the European market increased to 37% in Q1 2009, up from 26% in Q4 2008.
