-Highly Regarded Industry Professional Tapped to Grow Service Lines-

SEATTLE, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Colliers International announced today that A. Dwight Hotchkiss, an accomplished professional with 20 years of real estate industry experience, will join the firm on February 1 as Executive Managing Director, Client Services.

Reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer of Colliers International in the U.S., Dylan Taylor, Hotchkiss' top priorities will be to expand existing specialty areas and practice groups, as well as work to launch new service lines.

"Colliers International has been focused on expeditious growth that we believe will solidify our position as the best-in-class provider of commercial real estate services," said Taylor.  "That's what makes Dwight such a perfect fit for our organization: he has been the catalyst for growth of every business line with which he's been involved. He also understands the importance of culture to commercial real estate success, and will bring his style of proven leadership to our senior executive team."

"Colliers is a new kind of real estate organization with a laser-sharp focus on providing the best client experience in the industry," said Hotchkiss. Colliers' leadership – globally, regionally and locally – are in perfect sync, enabling employees from any part of the world to pull together in service of their clients, no matter where they are or how big or small their needs may be. Colliers is ideally positioned for continued growth, even while many of our competitors retrench and divest.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of that growth and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead."

Hotchkiss brings to Colliers International more than 20 years' experience, all with Cushman & Wakefield.  He served as a top-producing industrial broker, head of the Los Angeles downtown branch and a national leader for the U.S. Industrial Brokerage division.

Most recently, Hotchkiss managed the firm's U.S. industrial operations and business development, covering 490 brokers in more than 100 owned and alliance offices and driving $85 million in revenue. His achievements earned him three promotions in just four years.

As an industrial broker, Hotchkiss participated in more than 600 transactions over a span of 17 years and was honored with the 2001 National Service Excellence Award, based upon national client approval ratings. His leadership helped boost revenue from the industrial division by 24 percent, and he drove similar increases in revenue as the head of the Western Region.

Hotchkiss serves as an executive committee member of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation and is a member of numerous real estate industry groups. In addition, he served as a member of the board of directors for Homeboy Industries, a not-for-profit organization that works to present alternatives to young people caught up in a life of gang violence.
