BNP Paribas Real Estate strengthens its presence in the United States

BNP Paribas Real Estate has strengthened its presence in the United
States by signing an alliance agreement with Transwestern.

This alliance agreement signed by BNP Paribas Real Estate and
Transwestern covers the transaction, valuation and corporate real estate
consulting business lines.

Transwestern is located in 30 cities, including New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, Dallas and Miami, and employs 1,750 staff.

“For BNP Paribas Real Estate, Transwestern is a partner of choice due to
its size, its broad coverage of the United States and its excellent
market knowledge. Transwestern wanted to support its clients outside the
United States. From our point of view, we needed to improve our access
to US clients. As such, we are signing this partnership agreement at an
ideal time”, said Bernard Blanco, Head of International at BNP Paribas
Real Estate.

“Our alliance with BNP Paribas Real Estate offers us the possibility of
working in collaboration with one of the leading international real
estate providers, which is known and renowned for its expertise and the
quality of the services it provides. Thanks to this partnership, we are
providing knowledge of the US market, and the country, and together we
will be able to meet our clients’ needs”, explained Larry P. Heard,
President and CEO of Transwestern.

Signing this new alliance agreement demonstrates BNP Paribas Real
Estate’s ambition to continue its international expansion, in order to
support its clients in their real estate strategies. In addition to its
3,400 employees spread across 15 countries, BNP Paribas Real Estate’s
alliance network, which now represents 2,500 employees across 15
additional countries, enables the company to support and serve clients
in a total of 30 countries.
