Previous to his post at CRS, Reilly was a retail sales representative at locally based Colliers Lanier & Axilbund where he was responsible for sales and leasing of retail space throughout the tri-state area. At Staubach, he will work from its Bala Cynwyd office and focus on tenant representation for national and regional retailers. Staubach Retail is an affiliate of the Dallas-based Staubach Co.

Michael Margolis, a former SVP at Trammell Crow Co., and Michael McShane, a former first VP at CB Richard Ellis, are named directors of acquisitions at Partriot, and Todd Monahan is named VP of acquisitions. Most recently Monahan was managing director of sales and leasing at Jenkintown-based American Financial Realty Trust, and, prior to that, was director of leasing for Equity Office Properties' Center City assets before the Chicago-based firm sold its assets here.

A foursome, headed by Erik Kolar, left the Conshohocken-based Preferred Real Estate Investments to form Patriot, which Kolar describes as a "one-stop shop for corporate real estate professionals." It is designed to acquire multiple real estate holdings from large corporations and dispose of the excess, reposition and redevelop others, and lease back properties being used by the corporate seller.

At Patriot, Margolis and McShane are responsible for originating and overseeing the underwriting and acquisition of real estate from corporations, financial institutions and private investors. Monahan will oversee the company's New York and New Jersey acquisitions. Calls to Trammell Crow, Corporate Realty Solutions, CBRE and American Financial Realty Trust were not returned by deadline.
