Colliers’ Gorman to join Cushman & Wakefield

Cushman & Wakefield has appointed Mike Gorman from Colliers to lead residential capital markets activity across the UK’s core regional markets. Gorman is currently a director and head of northern residential capital markets and development at Colliers, where he has advised a range of clients including UK funds and institutions, property companies and overseas investors. At Cushman & Wakefield, Gorman will have a particular focus on regional build-to-rent and single-family housing. When he joins the firm later in the year, he will be based at Cushman’s Yorkshire and North East regional hub in Leeds. Prior to Colliers, Gorman was a senior director of residential capital markets at CBRE and an associate partner in residential development and investment at Allsop. Mark Clegg, head of residential capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “While London remains the most popular choice for BTR investment, our latest investor data shows that market sentiment is shifting considerably. Major regional cities outside London, including Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, continue to set the pace for development and are establishing themselves as BTR hotspots. “The continued growth of single-family housing will be a focus for Mike, and his regional residential market knowledge will provide clients with the expertise required as they continue to focus their attention on investing and developing in the regions.” Photo © Cushman & Wakefield
