Integra Realty Resources Joins Forces with Appraisal Research Counselors

Chicago-based Appraisal Research Counselors (ARC) is joining forces with Denver-based Integra Realty Resources (IRR), according to Connect Commercial Real Estate.

This means that all 32 employees from ARC will form IRR’s new Chicago office, effective immediately.

“ARC really bought part of IRR; and agrees to operate under the name, brand, processes, and model of IRR in their exclusive territory,” IRR Chairman Anthony M. Graziano told Senior Housing News.

Senior housing valuations still be a large part of the Chicago practice areas, and IRR is finalizing the re-launch of IRR Senior Housing, Graziano explained.

“We have a national specialty practice platform in senior housing, and I would expect Chicago will play a big role in that space in the years to come,” he added.
