Real Estate Forum has compiled its second annual ranking of the commercial real estate industry’s Fastest-Growing Companies: successful firms that have achieve exceptional growth in recent years, outpacing their competition. Twenty-six companies made this year’s list, which is segmented into four categories by average annual revenue: Heavy Hitters ($1 billion-plus in average annual revenues), Large Companies ($101 million to $999 million), Mid-Sized Companies ($11 million to $100 million) and Small Companies (up to $10 million).
The winners were calculated based on their scores for two key areas – revenue growth and headcount growth – over a three-year period. The sum of those scores determined the final ranking of the firm.
