Under the terms of the transaction, which is scheduled to close by the third quarter, Colliers will acquire 75% of Harrison Street from its founders for $450 million, with another $100 million payable in 2022 depending on certain performance target benchmarks. The remaining 25% will remain with Harrison Street's senior management, the news release said, with Christopher Merrill, co-founder and CEO, remaining the single largest individual shareholder.
