CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and plans to offer 50 million shares of its common stock in a public offering. The company has also provided the underwriters of the proposed offering an option to purchase an additional 7.5 million shares to cover over-allotments. CB Richard Ellis's stock was trading around $4.70 per share this week. At the price the stock offering would raise more than $270 million. The company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Banc of America Securities LLC will act as joint bookrunning managers for the offering.

ProLogis closed an $80 million, secured financing with a North American life insurance company on behalf of an affiliate of ProLogis North American Industrial Fund (NAIF). The five-year financing has a coupon of 5.84% and represents a loan-to-value of approximately 53%. Eight geographically diverse, US industrial properties, owned by the fund and managed by subsidiaries of ProLogis, are included as security for the loan. The proceeds paid down borrowings on the NAIF warehouse line of credit.
