Colliers expands engineering footprint in Canada through Englobe's acquisition of LRL, strengthening its professional services portfolio.
Colliers has made a strategic move to enhance its Canadian engineering presence through its Englobe Corporation platform's acquisition of LRL Associates Ltd. This transaction brings 50 professionals with multidisciplinary engineering expertise into Colliers' fold, significantly bolstering Englobe's capabilities in Ontario—Canada's largest market—and adding presence in New Brunswick.
The deal follows Colliers' partnership model, where LRL's management team becomes Englobe shareholders, fostering alignment and retention of key talent. This structure has proven effective for Colliers in attracting quality firms to its platform while maintaining entrepreneurial culture.
LRL's 39-year operating history and diverse engineering services—spanning mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, environmental, and geotechnical consulting—complement Englobe's existing offerings. This acquisition provides Colliers with enhanced cross-selling opportunities across its professional services ecosystem and deepens its technical capabilities to serve both public and private sector clients.
The transaction reflects Colliers' disciplined growth strategy of expanding its professional services portfolio through targeted acquisitions of specialized firms. By strengthening its engineering segment, Colliers diversifies revenue streams beyond its traditional real estate services, potentially improving margin profiles and creating more stable, recurring revenue sources.
