Colliers International Group Inc. announced the acquisition of Gorton & Partners, a New York-based project management firm.
Since 1994, Gorton has provided service to owners and developers across some of New York’s most complex construction and development projects.
Gorton, which will rebrand to “Colliers International” immediately, expands Colliers’ existing project and development management capabilities in the Northeast US and adds expertise for both highly complex out-of-the-ground buildings as well as interior renovation projects.
The integration of Gorton will also build on the strength of Colliers’ global project and development management capabilities, adding depth across multiple industry sectors including financial services, institutional, healthcare, education, high-rise & luxury residential and hospitality. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“We are very excited to add the Gorton team to our growing platform in the Northeast,” said Jon Winikur, executive managing director, Colliers International | Project Management | Northeast.
“The combination of our people, the team’s expertise and project experience will provide our clients with expanded capabilities across all project types, specialities and industries and access to Colliers International’s global project and development management services wherever they choose to do business.”
“We are very excited to be part of Colliers International at this important time in our firms’ history,” said Robert Gorton.
“Our track record for managing complex projects in NYC for more than 20 years, combined with Colliers’ leading global platform, will enable us to offer existing and new clients expanded, world-class project and development management services. We are already seeing the benefits of Colliers strong global platform and the resources we can now access.”
