Colliers International Announces New Office Location and Further Expansion in South Florida

SEATTLE, Feb. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Colliers International today announced that it has relocated its office in Miami and continues to invest in the growth of its services to the South Florida market. The company also anticipates a new office location in Fort Lauderdale before the close of the first quarter to accommodate the brokers and staff already working in that market. Colliers' West Palm Beach office remains at its original location at 4500 PGA Blvd, Suite 110, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418. The new Miami office location is at 601 Brickell Key, Suite 603, Miami, FL 33131. The new locations are poised for rapid growth and expansion with investment support from Colliers International, a pipeline of referrals and leads from New York and Florida as well as Colliers International's close connections with South America.

In the South Florida market, the Colliers International team consists of 24 professionals with full service capabilities including tenant representation, property leasing, investment sales, land sales, property management, project management and valuation. The South Florida team members have been with Colliers International for an average of six years, with senior members reaching up to 15 years with Colliers.

"We have always had a strong and loyal group of professionals in South Florida, and with these new, corporately owned locations, we are in a position to quickly grow and expand in this market," said Craig Robinson, President | USA, of Colliers International. "Our South Florida colleagues have the full support of Colliers International and we look forward to continuing to deliver results for our clients in this market."  

Last week, Colliers International's Miami office announced that it has brokered a deal for the purchase of 2.24 acres of land in Miami's CBD to a partnership between Ytech International, a Miami-based development and real estate investment firm, and Carlos Mattos, an investor/developer. The transaction was completed by Larry Stockton, Senior Vice President with Colliers International.  

"South Florida, and Miami in particular, continues to sizzle," said Stockton. According to Real Capital Analytics (RCA), cross border investment into South Florida is up almost 100% in 2014 over 2013 levels, jumping from $861.4 million in 2013 to $1.6 billion in 2014. Much of the investment is flowing from Canada, hitting $834.5 million in 2014, up 387% from 2013.

In the Fort Lauderdale market Colliers has also recently secured property management listings to service Chambers Street Properties' Miramar I & II, totaling 222,600 square feet, as well as Bentall Kennedy's 83,838-square-foot Sawgrass Center in Coral Springs.

Out of the West Palm Beach office, Tom Burst, Senior Vice President, has become the listing agent for Gardens Medical Pavilion at 3401 PGA Boulevard – a 75,375-square-foot class A medical office building with over 30,000 square feet of availability.

Colliers International provides a full range of real estate services throughout Florida through seven offices, 200 professionals, 9.5 million SF under management and more than $600 million in sale and lease transactions.
