“We are excited to have these highly skilled individuals become a part of the Colliers Team”, shared Kimberly Lamb, CPM, Sr. Executive Vice President of Property Management with Colliers Arnold.  “We are looking forward to the opportunities 2009 has for us in the Property/Asset Management side of our industry.  That’s why we are recruiting the best talent available to service our existing clients and new clients.”


Colliers Management Services brings three great strengths to every property management assignment:

• an extensive knowledge of sophisticated building systems
• a sensitivity to tenant needs
• a respect for the owner’s desire to enhance the value of each asset

This unique perspective has produced a philosophy defined by communication, customization and quality services.

COMMUNICATION is the key element of any successful relationship and it begins by understanding the client’s objectives.

With these goals defined, Colliers sets in motion a network that extends from the engineering staff, property and leasing managers to the building and maintenance subcontractors.

To communicate the goals of the client and the strategies necessary to realize these objectives, Colliers employs an important part of Management Services "The Hub Concept." This value added system places the portfolio manager at the center of the project team, orchestrating the immediate exchange of information between all of the team members and the owner.

As a result, the portfolio manager has the tools to plan for, and respond to, a multitude of scenarios quickly and effectively.

CUSTOMIZATION is another ingredient to Colliers success and sets the company apart from other management firms. Every property is unique, and the management of the property must reflect these differences. Colliers crafts the firm’s range of services to develop specific asset management, leasing and operating strategies to meet the objectives of the client and fit the needs of the project.

When Colliers transitions a new property a thorough inspection is conducted to identify any existing deficiencies and forecast future requirements. In addition, a market survey is performed to define leasing and marketing parameters. With this information, operational criteria are established for the specific building systems, tenant population and environmental conditions of the property. Leasing strategies are developed to ensure that building occupancy is maintained at optimal levels and a tenant relations plan is formulated to promote retention of all existing tenants.

Colliers tailors its services at every level. All reports to clients are presented in a format designed to their specifications and special information is highlighted for quick analysis. Such attention to detail is an example of Colliers Dickinson commitment to facilitate the responsibilities of ownership through the scope and quality of our services.

QUALITY/RESPONSIVE SERVICE is the operational standard Colliers sets for all of the firm’s activities.
