ST. LOUIS—DTZ, the property services firm, has just appointed Matthew C. Hrubes, as its new vice president and managing director of the company's office in St. Louis, with responsibilities for both the Metro St. Louis market and in Southern Illinois. Hrubes joins DTZ after five years with Balke Brown / Transwestern, where he served as a vice president in commercial brokerage, specializing in landlord and tenant representation for office and industrial properties in both Missouri and Illinois.

“Matt provides expertise in both office and industrial asset types across the region,” says Greg Schementi, executive vice president and head of US occupier services. “Having Matt lead the brokerage operation will trigger growth for our operation and DTZ is very pleased to welcome him to our team.”

The St. Louis area has struggled for several years, but as reported in GlobeSt.com, growth has begun to strengthen in several sectors and submarkets.

Hrubes, 40, launched his commercial real estate career in 1999, with a focus on institutional landlord representation and tenant rep work with Colliers Turley Martin Tucker, now Cassidy Turley. Later he worked for Duke Realty Corp., the largest landlord/REIT in St. Louis, and was responsible for an office and industrial portfolio of over two-million-square-feet.
