TAMPA-Colliers International Tampa Bay, Central & Southwest Florida has wooed two heavy hitting industrial real estate brokers to its Tampa team. Bruce Vaughan and Jan Boltres are switching allegiances as the industrial market makes its recovery.

“Emerging opportunities are being created by the tumultuous climate that exists right now for investors, lenders and commercial real estate firms,” Boltres tells GlobeSt.com. “This current market climate has made these entities increasingly more focused on the service providers to those assets, thus creating opportunities for top level professionals to excel.”

Together, Vaughn and Boltres have brokered deals valued at more than $250 million for regional, national and international clients. Both men join Colliers as managing directors in the Industrial Services division. And both join the firm from Grubb & Ellis, where they served as senior vice presidents focusing on the central and west Florida markets. Grubb & Ellis could not be reached for comment.
