GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 13, 2017 -- Leading global commercial real estate services firm Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CIGI) (TSX:CIGI) today announced the acquisition of its operation in Holland, MI. The move follows the 2016 acquisition of Colliers in West Michigan and will further build on the company’s market-leading position in the Great Lakes state, the 13^th largest economy of the 50 states in the U.S.

Along with Colliers operations in Southfield, Ann Arbor and Lansing, this acquisition represents the final step in unifying the company’s operations across all corners of the state.

“Joining forces with Colliers International Group in 2016 opened the opportunity to acquire operations in neighboring Holland, fully integrating all the operations in Western Michigan,” said Duke Suwyn, CEO of Colliers International West Michigan. “By adding these highly-skilled professionals, Colliers International will now become even more dominant in this vibrant region.”

“We have been partners with Colliers International for many years, so this was a natural next step for us,” said Kris DePree, President of Colliers International in Holland, MI. “By combining our operations in Western Michigan, we will be able to leverage the size, resources and infrastructure of the Colliers International brand and global platform, to continue growing our business and better service our clients locally, nationally and globally.”

“This addition is the latest in a series of strategic acquisitions that we have completed across the U.S., specifically in the important Midwest region, including acquisitions in West Michigan, St. Louis and Indianapolis,” said Steve Everbach, Colliers International President Central Region. “The Holland team will add to the already dominant position Colliers International holds in this important state.”
