Partnership & Thought Leadership

It's not what we do, but how we do it.

We are data-driven, local experts who bring confidence and peace of mind that we will meet all of our clients’ real estate needs.

National Transaction Management

Our team has executed well over 100M SF of industrial transactions across North America.

We bring more than 60 years of combined team experience to every transaction to ensure not only an aggressive economic deal, but also one with an optimal lease structure.

Portfolio Optimization

Unlocking hidden value across a portfolio of leases can be a complex and challenging exercise. Working closely with clients' operating and real estate functions, our teams broad national experience brings a strategic approach to identifying portfolio synergies. Whether it be a multi-city distribution center roll out or exiting a facility early in exchange for another, we can navigate clients through the process to derive the optimal outcome.

Surplus Asset Disposition

Sometimes these facilities are in core markets, but many times they are located in tertiary or even remote, rural locations. Our team is experienced in selling all manor of surplus assets from Kingman, AZ, to the middle of Kansas. Our proven system of execution provides maximum coverage and exposure for these challenging assets yielding results for our clients.

Michelin Tire

When Michelin® (the leading French tire company) wanted to build a large distribution center in the Southeast United States, they had many things to consider — one of the largest was the complexity of whether to lease or own the real estate. Our team helped them recognize that the facility they wanted to build would be designed very specifically for their use. That meant that any future developer would likely “penalize” them for the specialty nature. To help meet their needs, we structured a deal in which Michelin didn’t have to offer any up-front capital. Instead, they were able to sign a 15-year lease that ended with the company owning the property outright.

Southwire

Southwire determined that their current facility was no longer critical in their manufacturing process and turned to Colliers to help value the facility and market the property disposition. Given the tertiary location, our team traveled to Kingman, AZ, to inspect the facility, make recommendations and interview local brokers for “boots on the ground” representation.

At the time in 2010, the overall economy was slowly climbing out of recession, but Kingman was still lagging with high unemployment and high industrial vacancy.

Through our proven disposition process we were able to procure an investor buyer and trade the facility within 11 months of the first visit at a price above the client’s book value.
