Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) should refer to the audited financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these financial statements as “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2018 Annual Report), 2018 Annual Report The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation, but do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), or GAAP, for annual financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the value of goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, real estate assets, accounts receivable, contract assets, operating lease assets, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the current economic environment, and adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 financial statements to conform with the 2019 presentation.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	2. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) previously issued six Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) related to leases. The ASUs issued were: (1) in February 2016, ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases Targeted Improvements Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. We adopted these ASUs in the first quarter of 2019 by using the optional transitional method associated with no adjustment to comparative period financial statements presented for prior periods As a result of the adoption of the leasing guidance, the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 reflected $1.2 billion of additional lease liabilities, along with corresponding right-of-use assets of $1.0 billion, reflecting adjustments for items such as prepaid and deferred rent, unamortized initial direct costs, and unamortized lease incentive balances. The adoption of the leasing guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations. As of January 1, 2019, we account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, “ Leases In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” The FASB previously issued two ASUs related to derivatives and hedging. The ASUs issued were: (1) in August 2017, ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting.” In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑09, “Codification Improvements.” We adopted ASU 2018-09 in the first quarter of 2019 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption The FASB previously issued two ASUs related to financial instruments – credit losses. The ASUs issued were: (1) in June 2016, ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities.” In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018‑18, “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606.”

FacilitySource Acquisition	3 . On June 12, 2018, CBRE Jason Acquisition LLC (Merger Sub), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and FacilitySource Holdings, LLC (FacilitySource), WP X Finance, LP and Warburg Pincus X Partners, LP (collectively, the Stockholders) entered into a stock purchase agreement and plan of merger (the Merger Agreement). As part of the Merger Agreement, (i) we purchased from the Stockholders all the outstanding shares of capital stock of FS WP Holdco, Inc (Blocker Corp), which owned 1,686,013 Class A units (the Blocker Units) and (ii) immediately following the acquisition of Blocker Corp, Merger Sub merged with FacilitySource, with FacilitySource continuing as the surviving company and our wholly-owned subsidiary within our Global Workplace Solutions segment (the FacilitySource Acquisition), with the remaining Blocker Units not held by Blocker Corp. canceled and converted into the right to receive cash consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The estimated net initial purchase price was approximately $266.5 million, with $263.0 million paid in cash. We financed the transaction with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We completed the FacilitySource Acquisition to help us (i) build a tech-enabled supply chain capability for the occupier outsourcing industry and (ii) drive meaningfully differentiated outcomes for leading occupiers of real estate. The preliminary purchase accounting related to the FacilitySource Acquisition has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (with no change in the first quarter of 2019). The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The goodwill arising from the FacilitySource Acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations acquired from FacilitySource with ours. We are currently assessing if any portion of the goodwill recorded in connection with the FacilitySource Acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes, but do not expect any tax deductible goodwill to be significant. Given the complexity of the transaction, the calculation of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired, primarily income tax items, is still preliminary. The purchase price allocation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Warehouse Receivables And Warehouse Lines Of Credit [Abstract]
Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit	4 . Our wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. (CBRE Capital Markets) is a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) approved Multifamily Program Plus Seller/Servicer and an approved Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Aggregation and Negotiated Transaction Seller/Servicer. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc. (CBRE MCI) is an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) Seller/Servicer and CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE HMF, Inc. (CBRE HMF) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved Non-Supervised Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Title II Mortgagee, an approved Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) lender and an approved Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issuer of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Under these arrangements, before loans are originated through proceeds from warehouse lines of credit, we obtain either a contractual loan purchase commitment from either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the loans. The warehouse lines of credit are generally repaid within a one-month period when Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae buys the loans or upon settlement of the Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS, while we retain the servicing rights. Loans are funded at the prevailing market rates. We elect the fair value option for all warehouse receivables. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities that will be secured by the underlying loans.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	6 . Topic 820 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. There were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the recurring fair value measurements from those disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report. The following tables present the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands): As of March 31, 2019 Fair Value Measured and Recorded Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Available for sale securities: Debt securities: U.S. treasury securities $ 3,189 $ — $ — $ 3,189 Debt securities issued by U.S. federal agencies — 11,167 — 11,167 Corporate debt securities — 27,041 — 27,041 Asset-backed securities — 4,897 — 4,897 Collateralized mortgage obligations — 2,237 — 2,237 Total available for sale debt securities 3,189 45,342 — 48,531 Equity securities 210,160 — — 210,160 Warehouse receivables — 1,548,249 — 1,548,249 Total assets at fair value $ 213,349 $ 1,593,591 $ — $ 1,806,940 Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ — $ 736 $ — $ 736 Securities sold, not yet purchased 4,189 — — 4,189 Total liabilities at fair value $ 4,189 $ 736 $ — $ 4,925 As of December 31, 2018 Fair Value Measured and Recorded Using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Available for sale securities: Debt securities: U.S. treasury securities $ 3,138 $ — $ — $ 3,138 Debt securities issued by U.S. federal agencies — 11,196 — 11,196 Corporate debt securities — 27,201 — 27,201 Asset-backed securities — 5,017 — 5,017 Collateralized mortgage obligations — 2,224 — 2,224 Total available for sale debt securities 3,138 45,638 — 48,776 Equity securities 153,762 — — 153,762 Warehouse receivables — 1,342,468 — 1,342,468 Total assets at fair value $ 156,900 $ 1,388,106 $ — $ 1,545,006 Liabilities Interest rate swaps $ — $ 1,070 $ — $ 1,070 Securities sold, not yet purchased 3,133 — — 3,133 Total liabilities at fair value $ 3,133 $ 1,070 $ — $ 4,203 The following non-recurring fair value measurement was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands): Total Impairment Charges Net Carrying Value Fair Value Measured and for the as of Recorded Using Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 March 31, 2019 Other intangible assets $ 16,000 $ — $ — $ 16,000 $ 89,037 During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded an intangible asset impairment of $89.0 million in our Real Estate Investments segment. Such impairment charge was included as a separate line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. This non-cash write-off resulted from a review of the anticipated cash flows and the decrease in assets under management in our public securities business driven in part by continued industry-wide shift in investor preference for passive investment programs. There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” • Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – These balances include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. • Receivables, less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Due to their short-term nature, fair value approximates carrying value. • Warehouse Receivables – These balances are carried at fair value. The primary source of value is either a contractual purchase commitment from Freddie Mac or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS (see Note 4). • Available For Sale Debt Securities – These investments are carried at their fair value. • Equity Securities – These investments are carried at their fair value. • Securities Sold, not yet Purchased – These liabilities are carried at their fair value. • Short-Term Borrowings – The majority of this balance represents outstanding amounts under our warehouse lines of credit of our wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, and our revolving credit facility. Due to the short-term nature and variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value (see Notes 4 and 9). • Senior Term Loans – Based upon information from third-party banks (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our senior term loans was approximately $725.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $757.0 million at December 31, 2018. Their actual carrying value, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, totaled $744.0 million and $751.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively (see Note 9). • Interest Rate Swaps – These liabilities are carried at their fair value as calculated by using widely-accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. • Senior Notes – Based on dealers’ quotes (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair values of our 4.875 and $455.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019 and $616.4 million and $443.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The actual carrying value of our 4.875 $592.8 million and $422.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Goodwill [Abstract]
Goodwill	7 . On August 17, 2018, we announced a new organizational structure that became effective on January 1, 2019. Under the new structure, we organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, three global business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Global Workplace Solutions and (3) Real Estate Investments (see Note 14). In connection with this change, we reassessed our reporting units as of January 1, 2019. As a result, we have reassigned the goodwill balance to reflect our new segment structure using a relative fair value allocation approach. Under this approach, the fair value of each impacted reporting unit was determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach and was compared to the goodwill of the impacted regional segments immediately prior to the reorganization to arrive at the reassigned goodwill balance. We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more often if circumstances or events indicate there may be a change in the impairment status, in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” The following tables summarizes our change in carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands): Advisory Services Global Workplace Solutions Real Estate Investments Consolidated Balance, January 1, 2019: Goodwill $ 3,269,954 $ 875,570 $ 575,291 $ 4,720,815 Accumulated impairment losses (761,448 ) (175,473 ) (131,585 ) (1,068,506 ) 2,508,506 700,097 443,706 3,652,309 Purchase accounting entries 7,518 (292 ) — 7,226 Foreign exchange movement (1,608 ) 7,289 (1,334 ) 4,347 Balance, March 31, 2019: Goodwill 3,275,864 882,567 573,957 4,732,388 Accumulated impairment losses (761,448 ) (175,473 ) (131,585 ) (1,068,506 ) $ 2,514,416 $ 707,094 $ 442,372 $ 3,663,882

Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings	9 . Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consists of the following (dollars in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Senior term loans, with interest ranging from 0.75% to 3.49%, due quarterly through 2024 $ 748,632 $ 758,452 4.875% senior notes due in 2026, net of unamortized discount 596,750 596,653 5.25% senior notes due in 2025, net of unamortized premium 426,089 426,134 Other 2,998 3,682 Total long-term debt 1,774,469 1,784,921 Less: current maturities of long-term debt (2,573 ) (3,146 ) Less: unamortized debt issuance costs (11,715 ) (14,515 ) Total long-term debt, net of current maturities $ 1,760,181 $ 1,767,260 We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On October 31, 2017, CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services), our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Credit Agreement (the 2017 Credit Agreement), which refinanced and replaced our prior credit agreement (the 2015 Credit Agreement). On December 20, 2018, CBRE Global Acquisition Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Services, entered into an incremental term loan assumption agreement with a syndicate of banks jointly led by Wells Fargo Bank and National Westminster Bank plc to establish a new euro term loan facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of €400.0 million. The proceeds of the new euro term loan facility were used to repay a portion of the U.S. dollar denominated term loans outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement. On March 4, 2019, CBRE Services entered into an additional incremental assumption agreement with respect to the 2017 Credit Agreement (the 2017 Agreement as amended by such incremental assumption agreement, the 2019 Credit Agreement), which (i) extended the maturity of the U.S. dollar tranche A term loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement, (ii) extended the termination date of the revolving credit commitments available under the 2017 Credit Agreement and (iii) made certain changes to the interest rates and fees applicable to such tranche A term loans and revolving credit commitments. The proceeds from the new tranche A term loan facility under the 2019 Credit Agreement were used to repay the $300.0 million of tranche A term loans outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2019 Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit facility that is jointly and severally guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2019, the 2019 Credit Agreement provided for the following: (1) a $2.8 billion incremental revolving credit facility, which includes the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and terminates on March 4, 2024; (2) a $300.0 million incremental tranche A term loan facility maturing on March 4, 2024, requiring quarterly principal payments unless our leverage ratio (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding any such payment date and (3) a €400.0 million term loan facility due and payable in full at maturity on December 20, 2023. The 2017 Credit Agreement was a senior unsecured credit facility that was jointly and severally guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries. Our 2017 Credit Agreement provided for the following: (1) a $2.8 billion revolving credit facility, which included the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and had a termination date of October 31, 2022; (2) a $750.0 million delayed draw tranche A term loan facility which would have matured on October 31, 2022 and which required quarterly principal payments unless our leverage ratio (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) was less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding any such payment date and (3) a €400.0 million term loan facility which would have been due and payable in full at maturity on December 20, 2023. The indentures governing our 4.875% senior notes and 5.25% senior notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to create or permit liens on assets securing indebtedness, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and enter into consolidations or mergers. In addition, our 2019 Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) to consolidated interest expense of 2.00x and a maximum leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) of 4.25x (and in the case of the first four full fiscal quarters following consummation of a qualified acquisition (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement), 4.75x) as of the end of each fiscal quarter. On this basis, our coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense was 22.74x for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2019, and our leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to consolidated EBITDA was 0.80x as of March 31, 2019. Short-Term Borrowings Revolving Credit Facility The revolving credit facility under the 2019 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings outside of the U.S., with a $200.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services, one of our Canadian subsidiaries, one of our Australian subsidiaries and one of our New Zealand subsidiaries and a $300.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services and one of our U.K. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.680% to 1.075% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.075%, in each case as determined by reference to our Credit Rating (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement). The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). As of March 31, 2019, $336.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, letters of credit totaling $2.0 million were outstanding under our revolving credit facility. These letters of credit, which reduce the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility, were primarily issued in the ordinary course of business. The revolving credit facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement allowed for borrowings outside of the U.S., with a $200.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services, one of our Canadian subsidiaries, one of our Australian subsidiaries and one of our New Zealand subsidiaries and a $300.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services and one of our U.K. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.775% to 1.075% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.075%, in each case as determined by reference to our Credit Rating (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement). The 2017 Credit Agreement required us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). As of December 31, 2018, no amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility other than letters of credit totaling $2.0 million. These letters of credit, which reduced the amount we could have borrowed under the revolving credit facility, were primarily issued in the ordinary course of business. Warehouse Lines of Credit CBRE Capital Markets has warehouse lines of credit with third-party lenders for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, and a funding arrangement with Fannie Mae for the purpose of selling a percentage of certain closed multifamily loans to Fannie Mae. These warehouse lines are recourse only to CBRE Capital Markets and are secured by our related warehouse receivables. See Note 4 for additional information.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	10 . Leases We are the lessee in contracts for our office space tenancies and leased vehicles. These arrangements account for the significant portion of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We continually monitor our service arrangements to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease. The base terms for our lease arrangements typically do not extend beyond 10 years. We commonly have renewal options in our leases, but most of these options do not create a significant economic incentive for us to extend the lease term. Therefore, payments during periods covered by these renewal options are typically not included in our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. Specific to our vehicle leases, early termination options are common and economic penalties associated with early termination of these contracts are typically significant enough to make it reasonably certain that we will not exercise such options. Therefore, payments during periods covered by these early termination options in vehicle leases are typically included in our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. As an accounting policy election, our short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized as lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The rent expense associated with short term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most of our office space leases include variable payments based on our share of actual common area maintenance and operating costs of the leased property. Many of our vehicle leases include variable payments based on actual service and fuel costs. For both office space and vehicle leases, we have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components. Therefore, these costs are classified as variable lease payments. Lease payments are typically discounted at our incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined in the absence of key inputs which are typically not reported by our lessors. Because we do not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, judgement was used to estimate the secured borrowing rate associated with our leases based on relevant market data and our inputs applied to accepted valuation methodologies. The incremental borrowing rate calculated for each lease also reflects the lease term, currency, and geography specific to each lease. Supplemental balance sheet information related to our leases is as follows (dollars in thousands): Category Classification March 31, 2019 Assets Operating lease assets Operating lease assets $ 938,681 Financing lease assets Other assets, net 59,638 Total leased assets $ 998,319 Liabilities Current: Operating Operating lease liabilities $ 185,457 Financing Other current liabilities 25,007 Non-current: Operating Non-current operating lease liabilities 969,216 Financing Other liabilities 34,348 Total lease liabilities $ 1,214,028 Components of lease cost are as follows (dollars in thousands): Component Classification Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Operating lease cost Operating, administrative and other $ 46,728 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-to-use assets (1) 7,169 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 204 Variable lease cost (2) 16,947 Sublease income Revenue (240 ) Total lease cost $ 70,808 (1) Amortization costs of $5.9 million from vehicle finance leases utilized in client outsourcing arrangements are included in cost of services.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	1 1 . We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We believe that any losses in excess of the amounts accrued therefore as liabilities on our financial statements are unlikely to be significant, but litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our financial statements if one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount materially in excess of what we anticipated. In January 2008, CBRE MCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Lender Program (DUS Program), to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and typically, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans subject to such loss sharing arrangements with unpaid principal balances of $24.7 billion at March 31, 2019. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves or other acceptable collateral under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, CBRE MCI had a $64.0 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement, and had recorded a liability of approximately $40.3 million and $37.9 million, respectively, for its loan loss guarantee obligation under such arrangement. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which assets totaled approximately $618.2 million (including $331.4 million of warehouse receivables, a substantial majority of which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at March 31, 2019. CBRE Capital Markets participates in Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Small Balance Loan (SBL) Program. Under the SBL program, CBRE Capital Markets has certain repurchase and loss reimbursement obligations. These obligations are for the period from origination of the loan to the securitization date. CBRE Capital Markets must post a cash reserve or other acceptable collateral to provide for sufficient capital in the event the obligations are triggered. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, CBRE Capital Markets had posted a $5.0 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement. We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $74.9 We had guarantees totaling $62.3 million as of March 31, 2019, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet, and excluding guarantees related to operating leases. The $62.3 million primarily represents guarantees executed by us in the ordinary course of business, including various guarantees of management and vendor contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, we had issued numerous non-recourse carveout, completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects for the benefit of third parties. These guarantees are commonplace in our industry and are made by us in the ordinary course of our Real Estate Investments business. Non-recourse carveout guarantees generally require that our project-entity borrower not commit specified improper acts, with us potentially liable for all or a portion of such entity’s indebtedness or other damages suffered by the lender if those acts occur. Completion and budget guarantees generally require us to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. However, we generally use “guaranteed maximum price” contracts with reputable, bondable general contractors with respect to projects for which we provide these guarantees. These contracts are intended to pass the risk to such contractors. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees. An important part of the strategy for our Real Estate Investments business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. These co-investments generally total up to 2.0% of the equity in a particular fund. As of March 31, 2019, we had aggregate commitments of $49.1 million to fund these future co-investments. Additionally, an important part of our Real Estate Investments business strategy is to invest in unconsolidated real estate subsidiaries as a principal (in most cases co-investing with our clients). As of March 31, 2019, we had committed to fund $50.3 million of additional capital to these unconsolidated subsidiaries.

On October 27, 2016, our board of directors authorized the company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our Class A common stock over three years. Through December 31, 2018, we had spent $161.0 million to repurchase 3,980,656 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price paid per share of $40.43. During the month of January 2019, we spent $45.1 million to repurchase an additional 1,144,449 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price paid per share of $39.38. Additionally, on February 28, 2019, our board of directors authorized a new program for the company to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our Class A common stock over three years, effective March 11, 2019. The previous program terminated upon the effectiveness of the new program.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	1 4 . On August 17, 2018, we announced a new organizational structure that became effective on January 1, 2019. Under the new structure, we organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, three global business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Global Workplace Solutions and (3) Real Estate Investments. Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including property leasing, property sales, mortgage services, valuation, property management and project management. Global Workplace Solutions provides a broad suite of integrated, contractually-based services to occupiers of real estate, including facilities management, project management, transaction management and management consulting. Real Estate Investments includes: (i) investment management services provided globally; (ii) development services in the U.S. and (iii) a new service designed to help institutional property owners meet the demand for flexible office space solutions. Summarized financial information by segment is as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 (1) Revenue Advisory Services $ 1,834,402 $ 1,699,434 Global Workplace Solutions 3,165,915 2,827,503 Real Estate Investments 135,193 147,015 Total revenue $ 5,135,510 $ 4,673,952 Adjusted EBITDA Advisory Services $ 263,850 $ 215,432 Global Workplace Solutions 99,679 82,735 Real Estate Investments 86,503 49,640 Total Adjusted EBITDA $ 450,032 $ 347,807 (1) Results for 2018 have been presented in conformity with the new structure. Adjusted EBITDA is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and intangible asset impairments. Amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA further remove (from EBITDA) the impact of certain cash and non-cash items related to acquisitions, costs associated with our reorganization, including cost-savings initiatives, certain carried interest incentive compensation reversal to align with the timing of associated revenue and other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. $ 164,409 $ 150,288 Add: Depreciation and amortization 105,823 108,165 Intangible asset impairment 89,037 — Interest expense 22,726 28,858 Write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt 2,608 27,982 Provision for income taxes 43,878 46,164 Less: Interest income 1,534 3,621 EBITDA 426,947 357,836 Adjustments: Costs associated with our reorganization, including cost-savings initiatives (1) 15,749 — Carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue 7,336 (10,029 ) Adjusted EBITDA $ 450,032 $ 347,807 (1) Primarily represents severance costs related to headcount reductions in connection with our reorganization announced in the third quarter of 2018 that became effective January 1, 2019. Our CODM is not provided with total asset information by segment and accordingly, does not measure or allocate total assets on a segment basis. As a result, we have not disclosed any asset information by segment. Geographic Information Revenue in the table below is allocated based upon the country in which services are performed (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Revenue United States $ 3,036,707 $ 2,674,217 United Kingdom 588,581 580,516 All other countries 1,510,222 1,419,219 Total revenue $ 5,135,510 $ 4,673,952
