Our History

Colliers International is one of the first truly global commercial real estate organizations, formed more than 30 years ago as a network of independent firms. This collaboration provided clients with expert local real estate knowledge around the world.

As client needs evolved to demand consistent service, accountability and interconnected resources, this challenged many independent firms. Colliers recognized the market opportunity to provide higher quality, more reliable service through an integrated platform of professionals and property services.

Our capital partner, FirstService Corp., which began investing in Colliers International in 2004, has enabled us to expand our platform to offer clients complementary services and client resources.

We proudly trace our roots back to a local firm founded 1898. Today, we hold onto those local roots by steadily growing our business through local expertise, successfully completing more than 30 mergers and acquisitions in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe.
