Oliver Kolodseike

As Head of Research and Economics at global property advisors Colliers based in London, I lead a team of researchers identifying timely research topics and directing research and forecasting outputs. I have 25+ years of UK and European property industry experience and extensive expertise across a wide range of sectors and related industries. I participate regularly in industry panel discussions, but am focused more on direct client engagement with institutions, property companies, banks, and private investors. A regular media commentator, I have a wide range of national publication and broadcast experience. I joined Colliers International in August 2007 after several years at a private property company where I was responsible for managing a mixed portfolio of London residential, retail and office assets. Previously, I worked in a few London property advisory firms, a geodemographic company as well as a few youthful sojourns in the US offshore oil industry, local government and entertainment business. I am an economics graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and received a  PhD from the Faculty of Science at University College London.  I am a member of the London Property Economics Forum and  Society of Property Researchers.

Perhaps best known for my alternative take on property economics and investment, I am a keen proponent of UK regional development and infrastructure investment.

Alex is an Analyst for Colliers UK based in Leeds, forming part of the Retail Strategy & Analytics team. He was previously the GIS Analyst in the Research & Forecasting team.

He advises clients globally on store location and performance optimisation strategies, spanning the occupier spectrum from fashion, grocery and homewares through to F&B, leisure and retail banking (and beyond).

Alex joined Colliers in September 2021 after completing his MSc in GIS at the University of Leeds. During his time at Leeds he developed a strong interest in location planning and analysis. He conducted his dissertation on this topic, evaluating the impacts of COVID-19 on the store network of a major UK high-street retailer based on a range of factors including catchment geodemographics, domestic tourism, the shift from office to home-based working, and the rise of convenience culture. This dissertation was administrated in partnership with the firm and resulted in him recommending future changes to their store and online networks in order to maximise effieicency and productivity.
