Colliers Project Leaders continues to meet our clients’ evolving business needs with the development of our new Infrastructure Advisory service line. Our team helps clients set up their projects, optimize their capital investments, and be more efficient.
Evolving to Meet Client Needs
The Infrastructure Advisory (IA) service line is the evolution of our Advisory Services offering. Over the last ten years, we have become a trusted advisor to multiple executive leadership teams and boards of directors in support of their strategic decision making about their real property assets.
As word spread of the value we provide to clients, we expanded our expertise across key industry sectors: municipal, healthcare, provincial, federal, post-secondary, housing and transportation, and First Nations.
An exciting evolution
Drawing on the team’s deep collective experience, we help clients set up their projects, optimize their capital investments, and be more efficient. Our expertise is complemented by knowledge of the market, economic trends, changes in legislative compliance requirements, and industry best practices.
We are building on this momentum by:
- Strengthening capacity and capabilities in Infrastructure Portfolio Assessment and Strategy and Capital Program Governance
- Building new service lines for Transaction and Financial Advisory (AFP/P3) for large projects and Capital Project Feasibility for small capital projects
- Continuing partnership with the new Colliers Strategy & Consulting (CS&C) Group, providing market leading advice to commercial real estate clients
Our full solution model covers client needs from conceptual ideas to final property asset.
