Colliers International Expands Their Unmatched Local Presence with the Addition of Curtice Commercial Real Estate

MAY 20, 2010 | HOUSTON, TEXAS

Curtice Commercial Real Estate, a longstanding power player in commercial real estate in Sugar Land and Fort Bend County, is joining Colliers International. As a result of the joint venture, Colliers International Houston is able to expand even further their unmatched local presence with the new addition of the Sugar Land office.

Kolbe Curtice, president of Curtice Commercial is looking forward to combining his team’s intimate knowledge of the Fort Bend market with the global coverage and resources of Colliers International. “Colliers International is a $2 billion dollar company with incredibly vast resources and knowledge that we’re able to leverage to the benefit of our clients locally and around the world,” Curtice states. “In continued discussions of collaborating with Colliers Houston throughout the past several years, our shared commitment to accelerating our clients’ success and bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to the ever-changing demands and requirements of today’s commercial real estate market, it became very evident that this will be a great alliance and further testament to our unwavering commitment in providing excellent service to our clients.”

“Opening an office in Fort Bend County is a logical next step in our growth plans, and Kolbe Curtice’s team represents the best of the best in Fort Bend. Curtice Commercial has played a viable role in shaping the Sugar Land and Fort Bend County market for over 15 years,” states Patrick Duffy, president of Colliers Houston.

Charlie Herder, Co-Chairman of Colliers in Houston has been active both professionally and personally in Fort Bend County for over 25 years. “Fort Bend is one of the fastest growing markets in the United States. With this addition, we will be able to service our clients with requirements in the southwest Houston/Fort Bend submarkets better than ever,” Herder states. “I am looking forward to working closely with Kolbe and his team in Fort Bend.”

Colliers and Curtice expect to double the total number of brokers in the Fort Bend office from the current three within the next two months. Though the current number of brokers in office might be perceived by some as ‘small’, Curtice Commercial’s continued growth in revenue and transaction volume is a more telling indicator of the large scope and impact their operation has had, and will continue to have, in the Fort Bend market. Curtice will act as the managing director of the Fort Bend office.

This expansion is part of a global strategy that Colliers is following to invest in and grow their platform while other companies within the industry are seemingly struggling to keep up with the continually revolving challenges today’s economy presents. Colliers International has increased their global coverage from 290 to over 480 offices, and has grown to over 15,000 professionals worldwide within the past two months alone.
