NEW YORK CITY—Industry veteran Fred Trump has joined Colliers International as executive director in its brokerage group here. He is the son of President-elect Donald Trump's late brother Fred.

Bringing more than 30 years of commercial real estate experience and a diverse background in asset management, landlord representation and tenant representation, Trump joins Colliers International from Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.

At his former firm, Trump focused on agency leasing and tenant representation after leading the firm's Downtown office here for several years. His client roster includes Hachette Book Group, HFMUS, Klingenstein Fields Wealth Management, and AXA, for which he completed a headquarters transaction in the city.

“The growth of our New York presence is a major initiative for Colliers, and professionals like Fred significantly advance our efforts to accelerate client success in this market,” says Kimberly Brennan, COO of Colliers' tri-state region.

“We expect Fred will have an impact on several of our service lines, but his landlord representation experience and expertise will particularly enhance our agency practice and relationships with private and institutional owners of real estate,” she continues. “We are excited to have him as part of our team.”

Trump began his real estate career at the Edward S. Gordon Co. He later served as a VP at the Shorenstein Co., where he represented major owners including MetLife, The Bank of Nova Scotia, and Travelers. Later, he focused on asset management and the development and implementation of strategic financial plans for owners such as Chase Manhattan Bank, John Hancock Mutual Life, Steven Witkoff, and Sheldon Solow at Insignia/ESG and then CBRE following their merger.

Trump also served as relationship manager for DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners, overseeing the leasing and management of a one-million-square-foot, multi-state portfolio.

“Colliers has fostered an enterprising and collaborative culture in the New York market, and I look forward to helping expand our service excellence in the area.” notes Trump. He earned a B.A. from Lehigh University.
