Colliers International Group Inc. is a leading global real estate professional services and investment management firm. The company operates through three primary business segments: Real Estate Services, Engineering, and Investment Management. The Real Estate Services segment is the core revenue driver, accounting for approximately 64% of total revenues in 2024 (generating over $3.0 billion). This segment encompasses capital markets, leasing, landlord and tenant representation, property management, and valuation services. The Engineering segment provides design and project management services, while the Investment Management segment, primarily conducted through its subsidiary Harrison Street, focuses on alternative real estate assets and manages over $100 billion in assets under management (AUM).
Geographically, Colliers has a massive global footprint, operating in over 65 countries with a strong presence in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. The United States and Canada represent its largest revenue-generating markets. The company's business model has increasingly shifted toward recurring revenue streams, with outsourcing, advisory, engineering, and investment management now contributing over 70% of its earnings. This strategic diversification provides resilience against cyclical fluctuations in traditional transaction-based brokerage and capital markets. Colliers competes with other major global real estate service providers such as CBRE Group, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield, distinguishing itself through its aggressive expansion into high-margin engineering and alternative investment management sectors.
