The latest addition of Anthony & Co. to the Colliers International platform brings the number of markets added to Colliers International in 2010 to eight. Colliers International continues to grow its U.S. platform with the addition of this Raleigh-Durham market’s premier commercial real estate firm. Anthony & Co. will make the transition from a local top company to a key part of one of the world’s top tier real estate brands. There will be no changes in leadership or personnel of Anthony & Co. as a result of the move to Colliers International.

Colliers International has more than 15,000 employees who operate out of more than 480 offices in 61 countries. The revenues of Colliers International are nearly $2 billion. Colliers International announced earlier this year that it had combined operations and platforms with FirstService Real Estate Advisors.

FirstService Real Estate Advisors has embarked on an extensive effort in rebranding since then. All of its local operations have switched to the Colliers International branding and name. Anthony & Co. will adopt the name and branding as well. Anthony & Co., the oldest and more experienced commercial real estate services company in Eastern North Carolina, currently has offices in Raleigh and Durham.

Anthony & Co. was named one of the Top 10 of the Top 100 North Carolina Small Businesses in the past couple years by Triangle Business Leader. Colliers International has also expanded its platform into seven other markets in 2010 including: Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Long Island and Nashville.
