From the New York site: “Today” anchor Matt Lauer has been identified as the mystery buyer of actor Richard Gere's sprawling North Haven compound.
Sources for the New York Post discovered that Lauer was the buyer of the 12-bedroom mansion.
Known as Strongheart Manor, the 6.2-acre North Haven compound hit the market in 2013 asking $65 million. It struggled to find a buyer and underwent several price chops and broker swaps. Its most recent asking price was $36.5 million.
Lauer is selling a Sag Harbor home and another Hamptons cottage, the source told the Post. However, he is holding onto a 40-acre Bright Side Farm in Water Mill.

From the New York site: Shopping malls evoke big box retail, chains and department stores. But increasingly, retail investors and property owners are seeking out mom and pop tenants.
Small retail business sales growth has outpaced that of its larger competitors nearly every month over the past four years, according to CNBC. And that has landlords looking at small businesses as a safe bet.
“They're performing far stronger than a restaurant tenant that we have there in 5,000 square feet that's national,” Anjee Solanki, national director of USA retail services at Colliers, told CNBC.
Kimco, the largest publicly traded owner and operator of open air shopping centers in North America, recently expanded a program that offers small businesses one year of free rent and reduced property charges from one to 19 states, according to CNBC.
“They're [shoppers] not going to find that tenant anywhere else, and that's ultimately what you're looking for,” Jesse Tron, an industry expert formerly with the International Council of Shopping Centers trade group, said. [CNBC] –Christopher Cameron

As of 2:20 p.m., CBRE's stock was down 8 percent for the day, while Jones Lang LaSalle's stock had fallen by 11.9 percent.
Green Street Advisors had estimated that property values in London could fall by as much as 20 percent in the first three years after Britain leaves the EU. That's bad news for CBRE, which last year made 18 percent of its revenue in Britain, and JLL – two leading global commercial real estate brokerage and services firms.
“Maybe transactions take longer and some get canceled. The same can happen for the leasing business, maybe space gets cheaper and corporations just don't lease as much space. All this can have an impact on the revenue streams,” William Blair & Co. analyst Brandon Dobell told Bloomberg. He added that more U.S.-centric firms like Marcus & Millichap and HFF will likely feel less of an immediate impact.
