Colliers Arnold Deals Up 13% in First Half

CLEARWATER, FL-Despite a flagging economic cycle, Colliers Arnold’s first-half production is up 13% over the same 2002 period, company president J. Patrick Duffy tells GlobeSt.com.

In the Tampa Bay market alone, the national real estate brokerage firm closed 165 transactions valued at $140 million in the January-to-June period and aims to duplicate its 2002 record year of $336 million in closed contracts. Last year’s production included $219 million in sales and $117 million in leasing volume.

In all of its core markets–Tampa Bay, Orlando and Fort Myers–the locally based firm logged 507 commercial property transactions worth $402 million. “That’s 100 more transactions than the firm reported in 2001, with a dollar volume that grew more than $100 million,” Duffy says.
