Anthony Ott, former Managing Director of DTZ Brisbane, has joined the Queensland business as Head of Agency.
His main focus will be on the coordination and development of the office, retail and industrial sales and leasing services, as well as Divisional Director for the Capital Transactions team.
Ott is one of Brisbane’s most prominent commercial agents, with more than 25 years’ experience in major capital transactions and leasing.
As well as establishing DTZ in Brisbane, where he also held the role of chairman of DTZ’s national executive, he is also a former Director of Agency at PRD nationwide and Director of Leasing at Colliers International.
Meanwhile, Steve de Nys, former Managing Director of Desyn Property, has joined Savills Queensland as Joint Head of Industrial.
His focus will be on clients’ needs and growing the Savills team to service the fast moving industrial market, with several key appointments already being negotiated.
De Nys has close to 20 years’ commercial property experience and is one of Brisbane’s most successful industrial agents.
He is a former National Director of Industrial and Queensland Head of Industrial for Jones Lang LaSalle.
Savills Queensland Managing Director, Matthew Buckley, says the two new appointments add valuable high-level experience, knowledge and contacts to the team.
“We are really excited about Anthony and Steve joining our business,” Buckley says.
“They bring experience, relationships and respect and will further enhance the sales and leasing teams,” he says.
