Staffan Olsson, managing director of CB Richard Ellis's nordic region, commented: 'Tallberg is an ideal partner for us in Finland. They have been established for more than 120 years and have an excellent reputation in the market, including a fast-growing management and consultancy business with local market knowledge, expertise and skilled personnel. The alliance is good for the Finnish real estate investment business, which needs more liquidity and international investors, as well as Finnish investors who are looking for property investment opportunities abroad.'

Kai Keituri, managing director of Tallberg Toimitilajohto, believes that this alliance will give new opportunities even to the most demanding of clients in Finland. 'There is much to be achieved from experience in other markets and we now have the opportunity to bring new tools and approaches to Finland. On the other hand we have also developed professional services in Finland which may now be exported to other countries.'
