 IRVINE, CA, Nov. 8, 2010 – Colliers International has recruited Robert Caudill (top right  photo)  Matt Didier (middle left  photo) and Ryan Ward (middle right photo) to its Irvine, Calif. office.

 Specializing in the representation of landlords and tenants of office properties throughout Southern California, the team will add new strengths and expertise to the office brokerage capabilities of Colliers International’s Greater Los Angeles region.

“With the arrival of the new office team, we intend to be a driving force in the office agency business in Orange County,” said Martin Pupil (lower left photo), regional managing director for Colliers International’s Greater Los Angeles operations.

“The team is recognized as an industry leader throughout the County with an impressive reputation, validated by the many professional accomplishments of Bob, Matt and Ryan.”

 Caudill, a 25-year commercial real estate veteran, will serve as director. Previously, he was senior vice president in Grubb & Ellis’ Orange, Calif. office. 

Throughout his career, Caudill has exclusively represented more than 15 million square feet of office space throughout Southern California. Some of his notable transactions include the representation of FDIC for its 207,000-square-foot western headquarters in Irvine and the representation of AT&T in its relocation into a 120,000-square-foot office campus.

“We decided to make the move to Colliers International because of the company’s powerful global brand coupled with its integrated service platform consisting of Cohen and First Service Appraisal, along with its capital markets, appraisal and property management platforms,” said Caudill.

 “With the support of Colliers’ global platform, coupled with the flexibility granted at the local level, we have an opportunity to provide unparalleled service to our clients.”

Didier will serve as senior vice president focused on advising local, regional and corporate clients with the leasing, acquisition and disposition of their commercial real estate throughout Southern California. Didier has completed more than $500 million in transaction volume and three million square feet in leasing and sales.

He is a former Grubb & Ellis Company Rookie of the Year recipient, was ranked within the company’s top 10 brokers in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and was the number one office broker in Grubb & Ellis’ Orange office in 2007 and 2009.

Ward will serve as senior associate where he will be specializing in office leasing with Caudill and Didier. Ryan has assisted clients such as PS Business Parks, SunCoast Properties, CIM Group and Birtcher Anderson with their commercial real estate needs.

“Bob, Matt and Ryan are an experienced office specialty team that will help us serve the growing number of clients who have come to Colliers for solutions to their office real estate needs,” said Hans Mumper (lower right photo), Managing Director, who spearheads Colliers International’s office platform in Greater Los Angeles.
