Bio
Christel most recently served as Executive Managing Director at Colliers, having joined the firm in 1992 when it operated as GVA Williams. With over 28 years of experience in the commercial Real Estate industry, Christel focuses on strategic landlord agency services. In her first years at the firm, Christel was mentored by then Williams’ chairman Jerome Cohen, who introduced her to every aspect of the agency leasing process. Notably early in her career was her leasing of 28-40 West 23rd Street, an award winning 500,000-square-foot department store building conversion from manufacturing to office use. Ownership’s pioneering effort literally established the media advertising sector in Midtown South. Following an introduction to Thor Equities in 2003, Christel quickly became the exclusive leasing agent for twelve of Thor’s assets, which continued until early 2013, when Thor brought the majority of its leasing in-house.
