CUSIP NO. 12489L108              SCHEDULE 13D                     Page 7 of 10

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule
13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on
November 18, 1999 by BLUM Capital Partners, L.P. (formerly Richard C. Blum &
Associates, L.P.), a California limited partnership ("BLUM LP"); Richard C.
Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); RCBA
Strategic Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Strategic"); RCBA
GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("RCBA GP"); and Richard C.
Blum, the Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing
member of RCBA GP (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This Amendment No.
1 relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value, (the "Common Stock") of CB
Richard Ellis Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").  The
principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 200 North
Sepulveda Boulevard, El Segundo, California 90245-4380. The following
amendment to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. Unless otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------

(a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, there were
20,684,495 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 29, 1999. Based
on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in
Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report the following direct holdings
of the Common Stock and corresponding percentage interest of total shares
outstanding:  (i) Strategic reports direct holdings of 2,198,800 shares of
the Common Stock (10.6%); (ii) BLUM LP and RCBA Inc. report holdings of
1,010,333 shares of the Common Stock (4.9%) owned directly by the limited
partnerships for which BLUM LP serves as the general partner and BLUM LP's
investment advisory client accounts, and (iii) BLUM LP reports direct
holdings of 577 shares of the Common Stock (less than 1%).

In addition, because BLUM LP has voting and investment power with respect to
56,100 shares that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its
Equity Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially
owned by BLUM LP.  The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of
managing investments for educational institutions.  The principal
administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road East,
Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909.  The Common Fund disclaims membership in a
group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of
any shares held by the Reporting Persons.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by
BLUM LP and RCBA GP.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be
members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have
beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,265,810 shares of the Common
Stock, which is 15.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  As the sole
general partner of BLUM LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the
securities over which BLUM LP has voting and investment power.  As Chairman,
director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA

CUSIP NO. 12489L108              SCHEDULE 13D                    Page 8 of 10

Inc.  Mr. Blum may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities
over which RCBA GP has voting and investment power. In addition, Mr. Blum, as a
member of the Issuer's Board of Directors, has sole beneficial ownership of
10,000 shares of the Common Stock, consisting of options currently exercisable.
Mr. Blum also has sole beneficial ownership of options which are convertible
into 1,443 shares of the Common Stock granted to him as of September 1, 1999
which became exercisable as of the date of grant, but which may not be
exercised during the period beginning on the date of grant and ending on the
date six months thereafter.  Accordingly, Mr. Blum reports beneficial ownership
of 3,275,810 shares of the Common Stock which is 15.8% of the total Common
Stock shares outstanding.  Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a
Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an
admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive
officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members and members of RCBA GP, is, for any
purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially
