A $940 million real estate deal between Dutch financial services group ING (ING.AS) and CB Richard Ellis Group (CBG.N) may end up costing more because of pensions for Dutch staff, a source told Reuters. CBRE agreed in February to buy most of ING's (ING.N) global real estate investment management business to become the world's biggest real estate investment manager. The deal was expected to close in the second half of this year. [ID:nASA01KJ7] About 250 Dutch ING employees will move to CBRE as a result, where they will be transferred into a less attractive pension scheme, a source familiar with the situation at CBRE told Reuters.
