Colliers International has launched a dedicated tenant representation service for retailers, advising them on issues such as premises selection and lease negotiations.
Former national director retail at CBRE, Tim Male, is to drive the new initiative, which expands Colliers' range of retail services including sales, leasing, development advisory, project management; and property and portfolio management.
Male has already secured City Fitness, which operates 23 gyms across New Zealand, as Colliers' first large retail tenant representation client.
He will work closely with the agency's Retail Leasing and Real Estate Management teams, bridging both the high street retail and shopping centre markets.
Male worked for Westfield in Sydney for 18 months, prior to which he was a retail property consultant with CBRE in London for a decade.
