Los Angeles, January 11, 2007 -- CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) today
announced the sale of the approximately 19% ownership interest in Savills plc
held by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Trammell Crow Company.

At the time CB Richard Ellis announced its acquisition of Trammell Crow Company,
it also announced its intention to dispose of Trammell Crow Company's interest
in Savills plc, a real estate services company based in the United Kingdom.

The disposition was effected through the sale of 25,878,398 shares of Savills
plc common stock by way of a bookbuild offering managed by Credit Suisse
Securities (Europe) Limited, Hoare Govett Limited and Morgan Stanley Securities
Limited.

Completion of the transaction is expected to occur on January 17, 2007, subject
to customary conditions precedent.

The net pre-tax proceeds from the sale will total approximately $311 million,
and will be used primarily to reduce the amount of debt that was incurred to
finance the acquisition of Trammell Crow Company.
