CBRE Group, Inc. CBG today announced that it has completed the acquisition of a majority interest in Caledon Capital Management Inc. (Caledon), a Toronto-based investment management business specializing in private infrastructure and private equity investments.

Caledon will now operate as CBRE Caledon Capital Management Inc. (CBRE Caledon), a separate business unit within CBRE's independently operated investment management subsidiary, CBRE Global Investors. The Caledon management team will continue to manage the business and will maintain significant long-term ownership.

"The CBRE Caledon team has deep experience and a strong track record investing around the globe, so this acquisition is important in helping us meet our clients' needs."
