In 1999, after 15 years in brokerage, Hager left Grubb & Ellis to serve as vice president development for Koll Development Co.'s Denver office.
Koll has since closed the office.
''It is moving toward build-to-suits as opposed to spec buildings, as the market is not their for spec buildings,'' Hager tells GlobeSt.com.
While at Koll, he oversaw the development of the Koll Peoria Center, a 592,400-sf distribution center in Denver; Koll Centennial Center, a 248,000-sf office/warehouse facility in Centennial; and Jefferson Corporate Center, a 70,000-sf office building in Littleton.
"Steve's wealth of experience in brokerage and the added insight be brings to the table from his work in development, with the perspective of an owner/builder, makes him a highly valuable addition to our team in the Denver office," says Cushman & Wakefield of Colorado's senior managing director Sherman R. Miller.
Hager considered several other companies before choosing Cushman.
"The national platform, broad scope of service offerings and strongrelationships with corporate America made C&W a compelling choice for me," Hager says.
He adds the company is stronger since the merger with CushmanRealty, and it was a factor in deciding to join C&W.
Hager has closed has closed real estate transactions with BirtcherCommercial Development, Con-Way Western Express, DHL Airways, First Industrial Realty Trust, Majestic Realty, Michelin Tire Corp., Prudential Real Estate Investors and UBS Investors.
