CBRE's Tim Gifford

MIAMI—When Spanish billionaire Amancio Ortega set his eyes on downtown Miami's iconic Southeast Financial Center, he hired CBRE Inc. to advise his company on what would become the largest single-asset transaction in Miami to date.

Tim Gifford, head of CBRE's Latin America capital advisers group, was chosen to represent the investor in his company's half-billion dollar buy.

CBRE won the assignment in September. Less than three months later, the $516.6 million deal shattered South Florida price records.
