NEW YORK (AP) -- A potential sale of real estate investment trust CBRE realty Finance Inc. is "far from certain" but possible as the company has hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to review strategic alternatives, a research analyst said.
Citi Investment Research analyst Donald Fandetti said Arbor realty (ABR), one of CBRE Realty's (CBF) largest shareholders, has been bidding on the REIT, but a deal is not guaranteed.
On Thursday, CBRE realty posted a quarterly loss and said Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500) will work with the board of directors to "evaluate a wide range of strategic and operational initiatives to enhance shareholder value."
CBRE Realty lost $17.8 million, or 59 cents per share, during the fourth quarter.
Much of the loss was the result of reserving $19.2 million to cover potential losses on exposure to $82.8 million in loans made to developer Harry Macklowe. See Also
