About the brand ❤️
Grubb & Ellis was a major American commercial real estate services company known for offering brokerage, property management, consulting, investment, and valuation services across the U.S. Founded in 1958 in Northern California by Bill Grubb and Hal A. Ellis, Jr., the firm expanded from a regional real estate office into one of the largest integrated commercial real estate service networks in the United States, with hundreds of offices and thousands of professionals. At its peak, it provided transaction services, facilities management, and tailored real estate solutions for corporate clients, investors, tenants, and property owners. The company went public and was long recognized for its distinctive brand in the industry. After a leveraged expansion, merging with NNN Realty Advisors in 2007, Grubb & Ellis struggled with financial pressures during the late 2000s real estate downturn. In 2012 it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and sold most of its assets to BGC Partners, Inc., which integrated the business into Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, effectively ending Grubb & Ellis as a standalone corporate entity. Its legacy in U.S. commercial real estate persists through the combined platforms that continue to operate today.
