About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an announcement crackled over CBRE’s intercom: ‘Attention tenants—your new landlord is a talking pigeon.’ No one believed it until the bird started leaving handwritten notes on mailboxes. Soon enough, everyone in the building had a stack of notes from their feathered friend. One note read: 'Dear tenants, today’s rent is two crumbs and a smile!' A regular even tried negotiating, but the pigeon just added, 'PS: I like cheese too.' In the end, life went back to normal—or as normal as it gets when your landlord tweets updates.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to CBRE one afternoon and noticed something odd—a small, metallic humming coming from inside the building. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the front door. The sound grew louder as he stepped closer, like a swarm of tiny bees had taken up residence within. As he peered through the window, he saw hundreds of tiny robots dancing in perfect formation on the reception desk. Startled but intrigued, he knocked gently on the door. A friendly realtor opened it with a smile: 'Welcome! Just our new AI assistants rehearsing for the grand opening.'

3. A curious neighbor stopped by CBRE one day to ask about renting a space. As she waited in line, she couldn’t help but notice strange whispers coming from inside the office. Finally, an agent emerged and asked what she needed. The neighbor whispered back, ‘I just want to know if you’re hiring.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the agent who replied, ‘Ma’am, we only rent spaces—we don’t hire tenants!’

4. One rainy night, a delivery driver pulled up to CBRE and asked curiously, ‘Why does your sign keep flashing “For Lease” even though you’ve had that same tenant for years?’ A neighbor overheard the conversation and chimed in with a twinkle in his eye: 'Oh, that's because every time they try to negotiate a new lease, their own staff forgets who they're talking to!' The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head as he drove off into the rain.
