Seattle\u2013<\/strong>Earlier this year Savills Studley President Michael Colacino said the leading tenant representation firm was in growth mode and looking to Seattle as a new market for expansion. Enter Eric Blohm and Eric Leland, the firm\u2019s new senior managing directors, who are now overseeing operations in the Seattle metro area.<\/p>\nBlohm and Leland joined Savills Studley from Mohr Partners Inc., where they were managing principals and co-founded the firm\u2019s Seattle office in 2011. Several members of their team also joined Savills Studley: Managing Director Marcelo Garces, assistant directors Steve Perkins and Ian Ducharme and Administrative Assistant Rebecca Kasper. They had all worked under Blohm and Leland at Mohr Partners.<\/p>\n
Seattle already serves as the West Coast hub for the company\u2019s Worldwide Occupier Services platform, led by Senior Managing Director Jose Oncina. The firm\u2019s office is currently in downtown Bellevue, Wash., but will be moving to downtown Seattle in early 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeattle has long been a city of innovation, leading the way in advancements in technology, aerospace, medicine, education and logistics. Savills Studley\u2019s culture of unconventional thinking and our ability to execute fresh solutions to complex occupancy issues is well matched to Seattle\u2019s thriving business culture,\u201d Colacino said in a prepared statement. \u201cWe are at the forefront of how companies use space and in the delivery of smart real estate strategies that transform engagement, operations and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blohm told Commercial Property Executive<\/em> that he and Leland reached out to Savills Studley because they wanted to be part of a firm with a global platform. He said they talked with other commercial real estate services firms, but their first choice was to remain with a company like Savills Studley that also focused exclusively on tenant representation.<\/p>\n\u201cAs tenants become more sophisticated and the globalization of companies continues to require additional service capabilities, it became evident that our clients would be better served by a firm with a strong, integrated global platform,\u201d Blohm said in prepared remarks. \u201cSavills Studley\u2019s commitment to exclusively representing tenants, and its comprehensive platform for office, industrial and retail clients reinforced our confidence in the decision to join the company.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to start the Savills Studley office in Seattle and grow that and be associated with that was attractive,\u201d he told CPE<\/em>.<\/p>\nBlohm said they felt it was in their clients\u2019 best interests to join a global leader like Savills Studley to continue to offer seamless delivery of services both nationally and internationally. He said they would also have \u201cmore horsepower behind us\u201d from the addition of value-add services from Savills Studley like transaction management, occupier services, lease administration, project and consultant management.<\/p>\n
He said the move to Savills Studley paid off recently with a client who was looking to expand its presence in Singapore. Blohm said he was able to call Savills Studley\u2019s international desk which quickly put him in touch with the firm\u2019s Singapore office which lead to a deal being made that he would not have been able to handle in the past because of a lack of international contacts. Now the Seattle office is backed by Savills Studley\u2019s extensive worldwide resources, including a global network of specialized experts, industry-leading market research, advanced portfolio analytics, workforce optimization and services delivery expertise.<\/p>\n
Savills Studley was attracted to Blohm and Leland\u2019s team because of its reputation for precise financial and market analytics, lease negotiations and transaction execution. The two men have a combined 50 years of experience representing tenants. Some of their clients have included HTC, Micron Technologies, DaVita, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Washington Federal Inc., and Expeditors International of Washington. Their focus is on strategic real estate planning and deal structuring involving the development, construction and investment of commercial real estate assets for CRE tenants.<\/p>\n
Blohm and Leland had met at Sabey Corp., a private real estate development company in Seattle and they bring that development expertise to the table too. He said they focus mainly on office, warehouse\/industrial, biotech labs and data centers.<\/p>\n
Savills Studley was formed in 2014 from a merger of Studley, a New York-based national brokerage company, with London-headquartered Savills plc, one of the world\u2019s largest real estate advisory firms. In the past 18 months, Savills Studley has also established new offices in Phoenix, Minneapolis, Baltimore and Austin, Texas. It has also completed several acquisitions including Real Facilities, a major Canadian tenant representation firm; Cooper Brady Partners in Silicon Valley; Tampa-based Vertical Integration and KLG Advisors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
