We had a tremendous year of growth and achievements in 2022 despite market challenges due to inflation, rising interest rates, and the continued effects from Covid,” said Mr. Elie Rieder, CL’s Founder & CEO. “In addition to acquiring $270 million in new properties around the country, we also set the path to the future success of the firm though the creation of a number of divisions focusing on opportunities in the active adult and office sectors in markets with high growth potential.”
During 2022, CL completed 12 total transactions—six acquisitions and six dispositions— across six U.S. states. CL’s total transaction volume for 2022 was $514 million, $243 million of which were dispositions that allowed the firm to significantly capitalize on the appreciation created through the implementation of its value-add strategy.
