Colliers International | Richmond will take over leasing and management of the 11-building Glen Forest Office Park in Henrico County. (J. Elias O’Neal)
With its nationwide portfolio set to be sold in a multibillion-dollar deal, a Cleveland-based real estate firm has farmed out management of some of its Richmond holdings to local brokers after years of keeping it in-house.
Forest City Realty Trust has hired Colliers International | Richmond to oversee its stake of the 11-building Glen Forest Office Park in Henrico County, as well its Edgeworth Office Building at 2100 E. Cary St. in Shockoe Bottom.
Colliers brokers Chris Wallace, Andrew Ferguson, Tim Allison and Jeff Compton will oversee leasing and management of the office properties, which likely soon will come under new ownership, as Forest City has a deal in the works to be acquired for $11.4 billion cash by New York-based Brookfield Asset Management.
Colliers would not disclose how, if at all, the pending portfolio sale would affect its agreement with Forest City.

The agreement does not include several other properties Forest City owns in the metro Richmond market, such as six apartment buildings in Tobacco Row and its one-third stake ownership in Short Pump Town Center.
Over at Libbie Mill-Midtown, a new mixed-use development rising near Willow Lawn, developer Gumenick Properties is trying out another local brokerage firm to handle leasing of its retail sapce.
Divaris Real Estate’s Brett McNamee, Harrison Hall and Peter Vick will work to fill about 54,000 square feet of retail storefronts. That includes about 42,000 square feet of ground floor retail at the Penstock Quarter project – a 327-unit apartment project under construction near the intersection of Libbie Mill East Boulevard and Libbie Mill East Street in the development.
Libbie Mill has not had a third-party firm lease retail at the development since Aug. 1, 2017. Prior to that, Cushman Wakefield | Thalhimer had been the retail leasing agent since 2015.
A big chunk of the commercial vacancy at Libbie Mill was recently spoken for, as Lumber Liquidators announced it would move its headquarters to the development’s long-vacant Southern Season space.
Other retail tenants include Shagbark,TowneBank, 9Round Fitness, Salon 33, Custom Fat Loss and Midtown Design Gallery.
