FirstService Completes Four Acquisitions
February 03 2016 - 7:30AM
FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ:FSV) (TSX:FSV) announced today
that it has expanded its market-leading residential property
management operations with the acquisitions of K.A. Diehl in South
Carolina and Bruner & Rosi in California. Together, these
transactions add a total of 170 homeowner associations with 31,000
residential units and increase FirstService’s portfolio of
properties under management to over 7,400 associations comprising
1.6 million residential units throughout North America. Terms of
the transactions were not disclosed.
Founded in 2002, K.A. Diehl is one of the
leading residential property management firms in South Carolina
with particular strength in the Myrtle Beach market. Jack Boselli,
CEO, will retain an equity interest in the business and continue to
lead day-to-day operations. Bruner & Rosi, founded in 1999,
extends the FirstService leadership position in San Diego.
Co-founder Marge Rosi will continue to lead the business, which
will be combined with existing FirstService operations in the
greater San Diego market.
FirstService also expanded its ancillary
services capabilities with the acquisitions of Pride Pool Service
& Repairs and Wilcoxon Inc. Pride provides swimming pool
maintenance and repair services in the greater Las Vegas, Nevada
region and introduces a new capability to this important market.
Wilcoxon is a leading provider of pool repair and renovation
services in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region, with operations extending
across Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington
DC. Both acquisitions strengthen FirstService’s existing leadership
positions in the Las Vegas and Mid-Atlantic markets.
“A key element to our strategy at FirstService
is to augment strong organic growth with prudent acquisitions that
will increase scale, extend our footprint or enhance our service
offering,” said Scott Patterson, CEO of FirstService. “Each of
these additions is aligned with our strategy as we continue to
expand across all markets and service lines,” he concluded.
