The 28-year-old, 100-person brokerage is shooting for a $300 million sales/leasing volume year: it's highest since chairman Lee Arnold founded the firm in 1974. ColliersArnold booked $228 million in the first nine months of the year versus $204 million in the same 2001 period and $241 million for all of 2001.
ColliersArnold president J. Patrick Duffy sees no problem in attaining or even surpassing the $300 million mark. "The fourth quarter is shaping up to be the best we have seen in years," Duffy tells GlobeSt.com.
He says $400 million is a possibility. "So far this year, our sales and leasing transactions are up more than 20% over the same period last year," Duffy says. Since Sept. 25, the firm's 60 professionals have negotiated 43 sales and leasing transactions totaling $26 million.
ColliersArnold is also posting big gains in property management contracts, a priority revenue-generator Duffy set for this year. The brokerage added 3.3 million sf to its total Florida management portfolio of 5.8 million sf.
