The total capital managed by the business division in 2022 amounted to US $14 billion, covering various service and sector categories.

Among the sectors, residential emerged as the top contributor with a capital spend of USD 5.8 billion, followed by mixed use (USD 3.57 billion), office (USD 1.88 billion), industrial & logistics (USD 1.19 billion), and education (USD 0.13 billion).

Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, highlighted the firm's evolution and adaptation to the challenges posed by the pandemic, stating, "We have undergone a transition over the past several years as we adapted to the challenges of the pandemic and adopted new business practices. The expansion of the business division is aimed to enhance our scope of services and our footprint pan-India."
