Colliers International Greater Phoenix named Scott D. German vice president of office properties for its Scottsdale office.

German is leasing and selling Scottsdale office buildings, and providing consultation on development and land acquisition for clients.

During his 28 years in the Metro Phoenix commercial real estate industry, German has completed more than 2,000 lease and sale transactions in office, medical and industrial buildings. He specializes in financial analysis and contract negotiation.

“Scott’s expertise in landlord and tenant representation complements the accomplished team of our Scottsdale office,” said Bob Mulhern, managing director of Colliers International Greater Phoenix. “Scott is well-versed in the intricacies of the Scottsdale submarket having focused on the area for much of his career.”

Previously, German served as a vice president at CBRE for more than six years where he helped lead the industrial team as it developed build-to-suit distribution buildings, light industrial multi-tenant parks, office parks and two of the largest multi-tenant office/back office parks in the Metro Phoenix market.

In addition, German served as a vice president at NAI Horizon for 11 years and as a senior associate for almost 10 years at CBS Property Services.

“Colliers’ skilled management team, its laser-sharp focus on serving the needs of clients and its positive environment attracted me,” German said. “I have known a number of remarkable Colliers brokers throughout my career and it’s an honor to join this dedicated team.”

A member of the Arizona Technology Council and National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP), German earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from Arizona State University.
