From several dozen entries, Real Estate Forum has compiled its first-ever ranking of the commercial real estate industry’s Fastest-Growing Companies: firms that are outpacing their competition and positioned for success in 2016 and beyond. Twenty-eight companies made the inaugural 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 fields – revenue growth and headcount growth – over a three-year period. The sum of those scores determined the final ranking of the firm.
