COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKERAGES.Ranked by value of property sales and leases in 1999 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE commercial real estate sector had another brisk year 1999, with all but one of the local brokerages on the list showing an increase in the value of its deals compared to the previous year. As a group, the brokerages on this year's list handled $24.9 billion in transactions, compared with last year's total of $19.9 billion, a 25.1 percent increase. Overall, 1999 has emerged as the healthiest year for commercial real estate since L.A. emerged from recession in the early '90s. For the year, average monthly asking rents increased about 6 percent, or 10 cents per square foot, to $1.81 a foot for the county as a whole. Industry experts chalk up the healthy atmosphere to several factors -- a strong national and regional economy, growth in the technology sector, continued demand for warehouse and distribution space, and relatively little new office construction. Other elements include the expansion of the legal, financial and insurance industries in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. .
