# What Sets PDX-CRE Apart

> PDX-CRE is a Portland advisory team at Colliers built around one idea: **we represent the business, not the building. One team, one side of the table.** Contact: https://www.pdx-cre.com/contact

## 1. Recognized as Portland's top office team
- **2025 Office Team of the Year**, Commercial Association of Brokers, in conjunction with NAIOP and SIOR
- **SIOR Office Transaction of the Year** — Mike Holzgang (four times) and Brad Christiansen
- **2025 CAB Rookie of the Year** — Andy Stewart

## 2. Depth you can't shortcut
Mike Holzgang has 46 years in Pacific Northwest commercial real estate; Brad Christiansen has more than 24. Together the team brings 70+ years of experience and has served 500+ companies — from startups to statewide organizations like Providence Health & Services, the Salvation Army, OnPoint Community Credit Union and the Port of Portland.

## 3. We negotiate past the rent
Rate is where most advisors stop. Our clients' leases show what we go after instead:
- A renewal **below the tenant's own contractual renewal option**, plus free rent that didn't exist before (Pediatric Associates of the Northwest)
- An **option to purchase the building** early in the term (The Oregon Clinic)
- **Mid-lease cancellation rights** that build in flexibility (P&C Construction, Populous)
- **Rent-free occupancy** to build out clean rooms, and long-term control of the building (Sig Sauer)
- One of the largest improvement allowances in the building, plus separate furniture and moving allowances (BOGS Footwear)

## 4. More than a transaction
The team runs build-to-suit coordination, redevelopment oversight and space optimization, and has led some of the region's most complex assignments — the multi-year disposition of the Concordia University campus, the campus redevelopment of Artists Repertory Theatre, and the New Hope campus disposition.

## 5. Specialists in the sectors we serve
- **Healthcare:** The Oregon Clinic, Pediatric Associates of the Northwest, Women's Healthcare Associates, Providence Health & Services
- **Technology, R&D and manufacturing:** Sig Sauer, Panthalassa
- **Creative, design and consumer brands:** Populous, BOGS Footwear, Blue Ox Films, Arc'teryx
- **Nonprofit and mission-driven:** BibleProject, the Salvation Army, Artists Repertory Theatre, Concordia University

## 6. A team with range
Beyond brokerage, the team brings real estate investing, Fortune 100 creative leadership (12+ years at Nike), private real estate development, financial services, and in-house transaction coordination — lease redlining, LOI drafting, critical-date management and RFP responses.

## 7. Full Colliers platform, at no cost to you
Local advisors backed by Colliers' global resources and research. In a standard lease the landlord pays the fee, so the only question is whether the person at the table works for you.

## 8. Rooted in Portland
Team members serve or have served on the boards of Medical Teams International, Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland, CityServe and the Burnside Community Council, and the team publishes market commentary through its blog and the "To The Point Portland" video series.
