Colliers adds leading Southwest engineering firm

TORONTO AND PHOENIX, May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global professional services and investment management firm, Colliers (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI), today announced that its Colliers Engineering & Design (“CED”) division has acquired HILGARTWILSON, LLC (“HILGARTWILSON”), an Arizona-based engineering, planning and survey firm. The addition will enhance CED’s scale and capabilities in the U.S. Southwest and expand its footprint into the fast-growing Arizona market. The business will rebrand and be fully integrated into CED’s operations. Under Colliers’ unique partnership model, HILGARTWILSON’s senior leadership team will continue to lead the business in Arizona and become significant shareholders in the overall CED platform. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2009, HILGARTWILSON employs approximately 200 engineers, licensed surveyors, and other professionals operating from three offices in the Phoenix metropolitan area to support the development of the rapidly expanding Arizona area. Focused on national homebuilders, land developers, municipalities and other commercial real estate owners and occupiers, HILGARTWILSON provides a fully integrated offering, including civil engineering, surveying, land use planning, construction management, and environmental services.

Haney, PE, President and CEO, CED. “Together, with our recent addition in Texas, our expanded infrastructure service offering better positions us to serve our regional and national clients looking to capitalize on the strong U.S. Southwest economy.”

“CED’s enterprising ethos based on exceptional client service, employee focus, and professional ownership fully aligns with our own culture, making our partnership with CED a logical next step,” said Ron Hilgart, PE, Co-Founder & Managing Principal of HILGARTWILSON. “As leaders in our region, our success is a result of deep relationships earned by executing stellar projects.
