The expansion into Glendale was part of a much bigger move for Colliers. Earlier this year, Colliers also acquired CBC offices in Utah and Alaska.

Dubbed the Tri-Cities office, the new office in Glendale will be Colliers’ 10th in greater Los Angeles. 

“This is another advancement for our firm in the Greater Los Angeles Region,” Colliers Senior Managing Director James Malone said in a news release. “This acquisition provides us with an experienced team of professionals in the important submarkets of Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena, as well as reinforces our already strong presence in the area.”

Former CBC Advisors office co-founders Bill Ukropina and Gregory Barsamian will now serve as senior executive vice presidents in the new Tri-Cities office.

Colliers' Glendale office has 10 brokers specializing in the office, industrial, multifamily and retail sectors.

“With the commercial real estate market as strong as it is currently, now is a great time for us to join a global leader in our industry,” Barsamian said in the news release.
