PHOENIX-Just six months after opening its local office here, Voit Real Estate Services has added property management and brokerage assignments totaling 500,000 square feet across 13 projects and brought on several new professionals to handle the increased workload.

“We’ve definitely met our initials goals that we outlined when we opened the office,” says Jason Quintel, managing director of Voit’s Phoenix and Las Vegas offices. “It wouldn’t be unrealistic to add another 1 million square feet in assignments over the course of next 12 months, which would be 20 to 40 projects.”

Quintel notes that the new brokerage assignments include not only leasing but also disposition since a large number of the properties are distressed. “The majority of the assignments have come from relationships that we’ve established with lenders and banks including Wells Fargo, GE Capital, California Bank & Trust and Sterling Savings & Trust, just to name a few,” he tells GlobeSt.com, adding that the firm’s new assignments are all situated in Maricopa County and include retail, office and industrial properties, as well as land assets.

The firm has added two property managers including industry veteran Shirley Hawley, as well as investment sales broker Darren Tappen to handle the new assignments. “We’re in the midst of hiring a marketing assistant, an assistant property manager and an asset manager, all of whom will be on board by the end of February,” Quintel says.

Additionally, the firm has relocated its local operations to a new office than can accommodate its growth. The new office is located at 2375 E. Camelback Road, Suite 150.
