PHILADELPHIA, PA—Jon Kieserman, an industry veteran with more than 26 years of experience who has specialized in retail tenant and landlord representation for two decades, is joining Colliers International's Philadelphia office as a retail leader. Before working in commercial real estate, Kieserman was a tenant himself, leading a family-owned 16-store regional retail operation.

Kieserman has provided retailer representation and/or disposition services for Walmart, Sam's Club, Lowe's, AutoZone, Wendy's, Joyce Leslie, Pizza Hut, Chrysler, PA Department of Transportation, Pep Boys, Circuit City, Flynn & O'Hara and others. With more than 3.5 million square feet leased or sold throughout his career and a roster of national tenants, he has extensive market knowledge and insight into retail in the tristate region and beyond.

Jon is an addition that is a perfect fit for our culture and the level of service we offer our clients – one that is high touch and personal,” says Doug Sayer, president and CEO of Colliers in Philadelphia. “Jon is a seasoned professional, well known and respected amongst his peers and we are thrilled to have him join us in a pivotal year for Colliers Retail.”

Kieserman began his career in 1997 at Hirshand & Company. In 2004, he was instrumental in the formation of Kohler Group Commercial Real Estate, which merged into Fameco Real Estate, the Philadelphia region's leading retail brokerage firm specializing in retail real estate and the shopping center industry. After the sale of Fameco in 2013, he spent five years with CBRE as a first vice president.
