Harrison Street.
The firm was founded in 2005 by real estate veteran, Christopher Merrill, in partnership with the Galvin family (founding family of Motorola).
Christopher Merrill and the firm’s senior executives have a long history of identifying unique and innovative investment strategies over their careers. It is in this spirit of innovation, integrity and investment discipline that Harrison Street was founded and continues to operate today.
In July 2018, Colliers International Group Inc. (CIGI) purchased the interests of the Galvin family and became Harrison Street’s new strategic partner.
The transaction solves for succession of founders, ensures long-term firm stability and creates stronger alignment with the firm’s limited partners.

They have a number of live and pipeline development projects which were being managed in the traditional way, through Microsoft Office, email and accounting software. We received regular updates from our contractors which arrived in different formats, maintained various registers and lists to track risks and obligations. Reporting to our investors was a manual task that involved pulling together information from a variety of sources.

Oversight of the payment certification and drawdowns process and a centralised storage of the key documentation provided.
Our Solution
-
Provided our real-time PMO dashboards to monitor project performance and CAPEX figures live giving the visibility to highlight potential risk before impacting the project.
