SEATTLE and WASHINGTON, June 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Further expanding its extensive platform, Colliers International announced today that Kurt Stout, Charles Dilks, and Keith Lavey have joined the organization to lead the newly established Government Services Practice Group.

All three professionals hold the title of Executive Vice President. Three associates are also joining the team.

Based in Washington, D.C., the six-member team will provide a full array of consulting and contracting services to government agencies on a national basis. These Colliers professionals represent private sector landlords who lease space to government tenants. They also participate in the sale of government-leased properties.

The Government Services Practice Group also provides a full complement of tenant representation services to government agencies, including leasing, consulting, contracting, project management, facilities management, lease administration and valuation. Colliers International plans to significantly expand the Government Services Practice Group with key professionals throughout the U.S.

"The addition of this highly accomplished Government Services Practice Group reinforces one of Colliers International's core values - providing deep expertise to our clients," said Dylan Taylor (top right photo) CEO of Colliers International in the U.S.

"Kurt, Charles and Keith have a tremendous history of providing best-in-class, government-focused real estate services to a specialized sector. They are another excellent addition to Colliers International and will further assist in accelerating our clients' success."

Stout, Dilks and Lavey previously led Grubb & Ellis' Government Services Group. During their 13 years together in that capacity, they completed more than 400 lease and sale transactions across all 50 states totaling more than eight million square feet.

"Colliers International is a perfect cultural fit for our team. This is a unique opportunity to establish a national business unit that is exclusively devoted to providing real estate services to government agencies as well as investors who serve government tenants," said Stout, a 20-year real estate veteran in the government services sector.
