Colliers International Group Inc. announced on March 2 2026 that it had closed a deal to acquire Progedil, a Rome‑based residential asset advisory firm with a 35‑year legacy and more than 27,000 residential units in its portfolio. The transaction adds Progedil’s 75‑person team, led by CEO Marco Barile and Managing Director Francesco Procopio, to Colliers’ global network and extends the company’s residential advisory footprint across Italy.
Progedil’s founder, Giuseppe Barile, will remain as a senior advisor and the senior leadership team has retained significant equity, underscoring the company’s commitment to continuity. The deal value and integration timeline were not disclosed, but the acquisition is expected to be a bolt‑on that leverages Progedil’s established relationships and expertise in project marketing, brokerage, technical project management and property management for institutional developers and private clients.
The acquisition is strategically timed to capitalize on Italy’s attractive residential market, which is characterized by macroeconomic stability, tight supply, and growing investor demand. A three‑year collaboration between Colliers Italy and Progedil produced 2,400 joint transactions, providing a proven partnership foundation that should smooth the integration process and accelerate cross‑sell opportunities.
"Adding Progedil to Colliers EMEA accelerates our growth strategy, strengthens our foothold in a critical European market, and expands our residential expertise for long‑term success," said Davoud Amel‑Azizpour, CEO of Colliers EMEA. "This acquisition reinforces our commitment to expanding Colliers' capabilities in Italy," added Valeria Falcone, CEO of Colliers Italy’s real‑estate services business. Marco Barile, CEO of Progedil, noted that the partnership "marks an exciting new chapter for our team, enabling us to accelerate growth and deliver exceptional results for our clients."
Colliers has pursued a consistent bolt‑on acquisition strategy to deepen its capabilities in key local markets. The Progedil deal follows earlier acquisitions such as Tetranex (January 2026) and Astris Finance (June 2025) and complements the company’s broader European expansion. While the exact integration milestones are not disclosed, the company plans to leverage shared technology and governance to deliver greater value to clients and investors.
The acquisition strengthens Colliers’ position in Italy, a market that has been identified as attractive due to its tight supply and rising investor demand. By adding Progedil’s expertise and client base, Colliers can broaden its service offering, cross‑sell across its commercial and residential platforms, and accelerate growth in a dynamic market. The move also signals Colliers’ continued focus on building a diversified professional services platform that can adapt to evolving market conditions.
