PE-backed Avison Young closes second 2014 acquisition with buy of PSB Realty Advisors
Avison Young Inc has acquired Columbus, Ohio-based PSB Realty Advisors LLC, a provider of commercial real estate investment, brokerage, management and development services for office, retail, multi-family and industrial properties. The undisclosed deal also saw the company open a new U.S.-based office. The acquisition of PSB comes on the heels of Avision Young's buy last week of Atlanta, Georgia-based The Eidson Group LLC. With headquarters in Toronto, Avision Young is focused on commercial, office and industrial real estate services, and operates from 54 offices in Canada and the United States. It has been a portfolio investment of Canadian mid-market private equity firm Tricor Pacific Capital since Oct. 2011.
