Morris says he is honored to be on the “ground floor of a new breed” of real estate organization like Axxcess Capital. “Today, more than ever, the foundation of a successful investment, advisory and real estate services company is the long term trust of your clients, whether it be high net worth individuals, institutions or corporations property portfolios, plus your ability to quickly raise capital so the investment clients can immediately seize on acquisition opportunities.”

Morris terms the services Axxcess provides as “diverse, rigorous but interrelated disciplines. The three business units encompass advisory and execution services for alternative investments, a comprehensive real estate services platform to address both in-house and third party assets and corporate requirements, and supporting our continuing growth in joint ventures.

“Corporate portfolio asset managers generally responsible for their company’s real estate assets need more than just a squadron of advisors with experience limited to one or two different specialties,” Morris says. “The company’s property holdings, lease commitments and marketplace are too complex, too nuanced and now globally affected. Our differentiator is that we’re a small, well-connected senior level team with that can quickly mobilize a deep due diligence to capitalize on an opportune investment or develop and execute a strategy to avoid a problem—domestically or internationally.”

Axxcess Capital’s real estate services business is partnering with CLW Real Estate Services Group, headquartered in Tampa, FL to cover CLW’s West Coast markets and support and grow the CLW platform and client base. This partnership covers providing corporate services, real estate portfolio servicing, lease administration, brokerage and property and project management. Morris will be responsible for expanding the strength, quality and long term performance of the CLW client base in the West.

As executive vice president of Cushman & Wakefield, Morris managed the client solutions group which encompassed seven global business units, 600 million square feet under management, 7,000 employees and $250 million in annual revenues with $1.5 billion in gross throughput.

During his 20 years at Grubb & Ellis, Morris was president of its corporate services group and headed its international operations and all global relationships. He transitioned, managed and worked on over 200 major US or global corporate real estate holdings and focusing on optimizing their portfolio or occupancy performance.
