AGENTS Stanton Hillier Parker (SHP) is expanding its reach by acquiring a leading commercial property agency in Sydney’s North Shore, Hartigan Bolt.
The merger reinforces SHP’s commitment to its national expansion, which is complemented by its access to international markets through its Asian agent platform both domestically and in Asia.
“This merger reflects our commitment to growth and excellence. By joining forces with Hartigan Bolt, we enhance our capabilities and expand our reach. Our clients throughout the North Shore and beyond will benefit from unparalleled service,” said Andrew Hunter, CEO at Stanton Hillier Parker.
With 20-years of history in the region, Hartigan Bolt provides advisory expertise for leasing, sales, and asset management services.
Hartigan Bolt has successfully completed 35 transactions in the year to May and 93 completed transactions over 2023.
“We are excited to join forces with Stanton Hillier Parker, a company that shares our values and commitment to exceptional client service. Our combined strength and expertise will undoubtedly benefit our clients and the wider community,” said Chris Hartigan and David Bolt, co-founders at Hartigan Bolt.
The acquisition captures a significant market share in the North Shore, which is set to see significant activity due to major infrastructure in development across North Sydney and the Lower North Shore.
“Our combined history, including previous mergers and acquisitions, places us at the forefront of Sydney’s North Shore market and beyond, as we pivot our domestic network into further markets both in Sydney and interstate,” said Eugene Evgenikos, managing partner at SHP, Australia.
Back in February, Stanton Hillier Parker entered a commercial agreement with CI Australia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of APP Corporation Pty Limited, further boosting their reach in the Australian and international market.
