As part of the restructuring process, managing director of real estate management services John Dahlin will oversee acquisition, disposition and property management. In addition, SVPs Brian F. Raczynski and Tim Watters were hired from CB Richard Ellis to handle leasing for Colliers.

"Instead of saying we have a property management and brokerage company, what we've done is restructured ourselves into three lines; new development, tenant business and landlord business," comments Mike Fitz-Gerald, Colliers managing director. "It's on the landlord business side where we're taking all the services a property owner requires, and bringing them together."

Fitz-Gerald tells GlobeSt.com that the move came about from talking to clients, and learning that separate departments weren't the most efficient way in which to do business. "The more we started to understand some of the clients' needs, the more apparent it was that we were organized for our convenience, and not for the convenience of the client," Fitz-Gerald comments.
