DETROIT—Savills has recruited tenant representation advisors Gregory Bockart, Jr. and Peter McGrath from Colliers International. Their arrival builds on the firm’s presence in the local market where Savills recently opened an office.

Bockart, Jr., who will lead the local brokerage and consulting practices as well as execute strategies to grow the company in the area, is joining as executive managing director. McGrath is joining as associate director.

“Detroit has experienced an exciting transformation that has reimagined downtown and shifted market dynamics over the past 10 years,” Executive Vice President George Kohl, who oversees the firm’s operations in the Midwest, says in prepared remarks. “Bringing on exceptional talent like Greg and Peter reflects the firm’s commitment to delivering local expertise globally and deepens our investment in Midwest business hubs.”

Bockart and McGrath will work from offices in downtown Detroit. They will continue their specialties in cross-border solutions, tenant representation and disposition and investment sales.

Bockart and McGrath’s arrival and the planned growth in Detroit are the latest in a series of company developments in North America this year. The firm recently added a new dispositions offering; opened a new office in Nashville; added to its global retail division in the mid-Atlantic and Toronto, Canada markets; launched Workthere, an online flexible office listing platform and specialized advisory service, in the US; and, in March, rebranded as Savills.
