Business and Educational Background

Prior to joining Colliers International, Mr. Broderick worked at Fantini & Gorga. Mr. Broderick earned his Bachelor of Science degree in finance at Bentley College.

Since joining in 2015, I have worked on the Capital Markets | Debt and Equity team for Colliers International | Boston, one of the largest structured finance platforms in New England. I specialize in planning, advising, and execution of client capitalization strategies for all asset types. Leveraging an extensive network of capital sources, I have closed over $800 million in permanent, construction, bridge, mezzanine and joint venture equity funding.

I joined Colliers in 2016 and currently serve as Marketing Manager for the Boston office. In my role, I collaborate with professionals across all departments to create and strategize high-profile marketing campaigns that exceed our clients' expectations. I previously worked as a Senior Marketing Specialist, focused on Capital Markets campaigns and initiatives,  and as a Senior Client Services Specialist, where I provided administrative and marketing support to our multi-family advisory team.

 Prior to joining Colliers, I worked as a brokerage coordinator at Boston Realty Advisors where I coordinated brokerage activities & marketing campaigns for a team of multifamily specialists. I also served as senior membership & events coordinator at the Greater Boston Real Estate Board, focusing on membership & events coordination for two commercial real estate associations: BOMA and REFA.

Adam Coppola joined Colliers International in 2004 as an analyst in the firm’s Capital Markets group. He is involved in the analysis, underwriting and placement of commercial mortgage loans on office, industrial, retail and multifamily residential properties with life insurance companies, CMBS lenders (conduits), credit companies, banks and other lending institutions. Adam works closely with clients and capital sources in arranging permanent, construction, bridge, mezzanine and equity funding. Prior to joining Colliers International, Adam spent four years as a senior fund accountant with State Street Corporation in Boston.

Mr. Horan joined Colliers International in 1975 in the Valuation & Advisory Services group.  For two years, Mr. Horan conducted analyses of industrial, educational, retail and residential properties.  He then spent five years in the Brokerage group, handling the leasing and sale of office, industrial and institutional properties.  In 1982, Mr. Horan joined the Capital Markets group where he specializes in placing debt and equity in commercial and residential real estate.

As Senior Vice President on the Capital Markets Team, I provide service to a diverse mix of developers, landlords and investors in the Greater Boston market. Working on their behalf in the disposition and/or acquisition of office, flex and industrial properties, I approach each assignment by putting myself in the position of the client and advise accordingly. I believe that understanding all of the sides to a transaction and shifting the focus from transaction-centric to business decision-centric has resulted in much stronger and more meaningful client relationships, rooted in honesty and loyalty.

My exposure to and interest in real estate began immediately after graduating from Tufts University, when I was hired by another real estate brokerage firm to focus on the Route 128 leasing market, specifically the central Mass Pike territories in and around Waltham. After learning the business and spending time in the market, I could identify the aspects that most interested me and that could offer meaningful opportunities for my career long term. I knew that I enjoyed having the foundation of traditional leasing as my day-to-day activities but was simultaneously intrigued and motivated by creative sale and redevelopment opportunities. In an effort to find that along with the necessary work-life balance, I made the move to Colliers International and transitioned from the well-established and more institutional central 128 market to the south and west markets. This territory offered a unique diversity of assignments, affording me more exposure to different building types, distinct industries and clients, and often unveiling those opportunities for creative repositioning, be it through a redevelopment or sale that had piqued my interest early on. This prior experience has provided an ideal foundation for my most recent transition to the investment sales side of the business.

Though real estate has certainly taken shape in my life as much more than just a nine-to-five job, I do make time for the activities that I find most fulfilling, such as skiing, going to concerts, and especially spending time with my wife and four children.
