Combination Creates New Industry Leader in Commercial Real Estate
Washington, DC — Madison Marquette, one of the nation’s leading privately held commercial real estate investment and operating companies, and PMRG, one of the nation’s premier privately held commercial real estate firms specializing in project leasing, property management, investment management and development services, confirmed today that they are in discussions to merge operations. Closing is anticipated in the next 30 days.
“We anticipate a highly-complimentary combination that significantly expands the capabilities of both firms,” states Amer Hammour, Chairman, Madison Marquette. “Madison Marquette’s investment management as well as retail and mixed-use development, marketing and management expertise would join PMRG’s office, medical, industrial and multi-family capabilities to provide leadership across all asset classes to our clients and investment partners.” PMRG’s dominance in the southern US is a perfect match for Madison’s presence in primary gateway markets on both coasts. The companies’ shared clients include many of the top institutional owners and investors in the industry.
“The merger is an excellent match of culture and expertise -- a tremendous win-win for our people, clients and investment partners,” states Rick Kirk, Chairman and CEO, PMRG.
