Our rankings offer a uniquely balanced evaluation of company strength, based on a weighted formula including multiple variables. Each ranking is accompanied by analysis, along with never-before-seen performance charts derived from company-provided data. Plus, this year we&#8217;ve added two new rankings: Top Real Estate Law Firms and Top Commercial Architects and Designers.<\/p>\n<p><em>CPE<\/em>&#8216;s Book of Rankings includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Real Estate Developers:<\/strong> This ranking takes into consideration factors including but not limited to current and future plans, market value of projects completed and under construction, as well as geographic and property diversification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Property Owners:<\/strong> The weighted formula for this ranking incorporates total square footage owned, owned portfolio value, historic performance and property sector diversification, among other factors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Property Management Firms:<\/strong> The top CRE managers ranking looks at several factors, including the total square footage and number of properties under management, property operations-both owned and managed-and presence across property sectors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Real Estate Brokerage Firms:<\/strong> This ranking considers factors including a firm&#8217;s performance across multiple years and reviewed data that reflects investment sales and leasing activity, providing what we feel is a logical balance between firm growth and market share.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Mortgage Banking and Brokerage Firms:<\/strong> As with our other rankings, this one uses a weighted formula that we feel offers a balance between firm growth and market share. Factors considered include but are not limited to total origination volume, coverage offered, growth in transaction volume and loan positioning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Real Estate Law Firms:<\/strong> This ranking considers a variety of factors, including revenue performance, the number of lawyers dedicated to the sector, the growth of the real estate practice, and the size and nature of its top deals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top Commercial Architects and Designers:<\/strong> This ranking incorporates revenue, multi-year revenue momentum, the percentage of proposals won, staff credentials and a focused or diversified participation across sectors and geographies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ll answer, among many others, questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are top U.S. commercial real estate developers looking to accelerate or slow down their pipelines?<\/li>\n<li>How are the top CRE owners planning on expanding their portfolios?<\/li>\n<li>What share of owner portfolios is green?<\/li>\n<li>In what direction are broker headcounts moving for top firms?<\/li>\n<li>What asset types are top managers most specialized in?<\/li>\n<li>What is the scale of space managed on an owned versus third-party basis?<\/li>\n<li>Which CRE asset types are providing the top U.S. brokerage firms with the most business?<\/li>\n<li>How much of the originations pie are different CRE asset types taking?<\/li>\n<li>How are origination volumes changing over time?<\/li>\n<li>What asset types drew the most revenue for our top architects?<\/li>\n<li>Are top law firms expanding or reducing their real estate practice?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tTop companies for top business\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><em>CPE<\/em>&#8216;s latest rankings highlight key areas of the $26+ trillion U.S. commercial real estate market.
