CBRE is the largest property management and leasing firm in Dallas,managing about 40M SF and touching almost 60M SF through leasing and management. So you can take Blair's word when he says, "We've just come through one of the toughest years in the history of DFW real estate. We expect '10 to be a year of recovery. With a lot of stress in the market, that creates opportunity."

CBRE is also marketing 250 & 290 East John Carpenter Freeway complex, on a 15-acre site with three multi-story buildings totaling 539k SF  in  Las Colinas. Owned by Behringer-Harvard, it has been repositioned and redeveloped with potential for a corporate HQ or as a shared facility with multiple tenants, Blair tells us. When not listing, leasing, or leading, Blair golfs, trains for his annual fall marathon, and chases his three kids around athletic fields. His next goal? Returning to the New York Marathon; he started two years ago before a stress fracture stopped him in mile 16.
