Colliers International Awarded Property Management Contract For Beverly Hills Luxury Retailers

SEATTLE, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Colliers International today announced that it has been awarded the management contract for two high-street luxury retail buildings in Beverly Hills owned by Grosvenor Americas. Located on the prominent Rodeo Drive corridor and home to Harry Winston and bebe, the contract will allow Colliers International to expand their retail management services in Southern California.

"This expansion of our relationship with Grosvenor Americas illustrates the unique power of the Colliers platform," said Anjee Solanki, National Director | Retail Services for Colliers International. "The Colliers commitment to service excellence is perfectly aligned with such a prestigious spot for luxury retailers, and we are proud to take part in providing management services for these tenants."

Colliers has an existing partnership with Grosvenor Americas, which includes providing management and leasing services for three historic properties in San Francisco's Union Square district, home to high-profile tenants De Beers, Façonnable, and Bay Area newcomer Icebreaker. For one of those properties, Colliers helped Grosvenor Americas achieve LEED Platinum certification. Colliers and Grosvenor Americas plan to evaluate existing sustainability practices for the Rodeo Drive property and will strive to achieve LEED certification.

"The Colliers team is familiar with LEED standards for operating and maintaining existing buildings," said Tom Ohlson, Senior Vice President of Portfolio Management for Grosvenor Americas. "We're leveraging their expertise as we review current energy usage and evaluate low-cost options and potential long-term changes to achieve LEED certification."

In addition to evaluating LEED certification to this new Grosvenor Americas property, Colliers is also incorporating the latest smartphone, tablet and mobile technologies by sharing real-time Video Property Inspection reports with the tenants and property owners. The videos provide narrative content that can be shared with clients located anywhere in the world, allowing them to track projects. Further, the Video Property Inspection reports help communicate property needs from on-site general managers to Grosvenor Americas, and allow Colliers to generate a historical record of a property through quarterly documentaries.
