3 of the acquisitions you cite took place in 2017, when Carris was senior managing director at CBRE. The Franklin Park facility was a sale from wanxiang to Brookfield Properties.

The relationship between Wanxiang and Colliers is the 40 year relationship between Wanxiang CEO Larry Krueger and then-Colliers managing director (Carris's predecessor) David Kahnweiler.

Neither donated to Carris. Kahnweiler is a big donor to Democrats, from Kamala Harris to Alexi Giannoulias to Tammy Duckworth to Dan Seals, while Krueger has only given to Cory Booker.

But back to Wanxiang buying buildings with Colliers. This was the Kahnweiler regime. The fact Colliers went outside to get a new managing director indicates a change of direction.

Really a tin-hat worthy article.
