Global real estate firm, Colliers International, today announced the opening of its Egypt office. Located in Cairo, the office will provide real estate advisory services to real estate developers, users, owners and investors across the country.

John. D Davis, CEO, MENA at Colliers International added: "Since we launched operations in the MENA region 20 years ago, Egypt has always been a key market for our clients. In recent years we've seen a significant increase in interest across the board in Egypt and with growing demand from our clients we believe now is the time to open a dedicated office in Cairo. We are confident that the new office will help our clients meet their objectives and highlights our belief in the long term prospects of North Africa's largest economy."

"There is an increasing interest in Egypt from global investors, developers and operators looking for the right market entry strategy", said Chris McLernon, CEO, EMEA at Colliers International.
