Colliers International has promoted Kevin Rude to regional managing director for the West Coast in the firm’s real estate management services division in Southern California. The new position is an expanded role for Rude, who will focus on supporting clients with growing portfolios along the West Coast or who are entering new West Coast markets. The position oversees California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona.

“We are already in all of these markets, and we have regional market leaders in each of those markets,” Rude tells GlobeSt.com. “We are really focused on trying to enhance connectivity from multiple client sources and drive our service excellence from a property management perspective throughout the West. We determined that there are a lot of synergies between these markets, and we have a lot of crossover from owners and asset managers that work in multiple markets. We are making sure that our service lines are consistent throughout the offices.”

Property management has evolved not only alongside the explosion of West Coast secondary markets—like Seattle, Portland and Phoenix—but also alongside changing uses and needs in commercial property types. “You are starting to see different uses, like medical in retail, which we have never seen before,” says Rude. “In office, you are starting to see creative office components coming into play in areas that you would never have expected. I think it is ever evolving.”
