Previous Founding Principal at Colliers Pittsburgh returns as Executive Vice President of Occupier Services


PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, August 30th 2023 – Colliers is pleased to announce the addition of Patrick Sentner, SIOR to the company’s Pittsburgh office. Mr. Sentner, previously a Founding Principal at Colliers Pittsburgh, rejoins the office as Executive Vice President with leadership over the Pittsburgh Occupiers Services Team. Mr. Sentner brings with him over 30 years of industry experience with a concentration in office representation and corporate services.

“Having Patrick back at Colliers, combined with the recent additions of industry veterans, Ed Lawrence in Research, Bryan McCann and Willis Croker in Capital Markets and Dan Puntil and Megan Jones in Debt & Equity provide recognizable and reputable leadership within these critical service lines.  I cannot overstate how excited we are to welcome Patrick back as his experience and talents will continue to elevate our office toward even greater success.”
– John Bilyak, SIOR, CCIM | Market Leader and Principal, Industrial Brokerage

Most recently Mr. Sentner served as Executive Vice President within CBRE’s Advisory & Transaction Services division of the Occupier Services Group, having joined the company in March 2017. In addition to gaining distinction as a top broker, Mr. Sentner was the first representative from the region to be selected as Global President for the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), holding the position from October 2021 through October of 2022 and he continues to serve on SIOR’s Governance Team.  Prior to his tenures at CBRE and Colliers, Mr. Sentner was a  Vice President with Oxford Development Company. His industry accomplishments include multiple Colliers Everest Awards, several NAI Global Top Performer awards, and a NAI Global Vision Award, among other notable distinctions. 

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue what I helped to start back in 2005 by rejoining the Pittsburgh team at Colliers.  It was a blessing to work with CBRE and their local team but it felt like the right time to return to my roots and work to build upon the strong foundation that has been laid.”

Since graduating from Westminster College and later earning his MBA from West Virginia University, Sentner has built a formidable reputation within the region’s commercial real estate community. His exceptional client-centric approach to national corporate services and tenant representation has led him to work with a wide range of companies from non-profits to Fortune 500 corporations. 

“I have known Patrick since high school and am thrilled to have an opportunity to work alongside him again.  He brings an impeccable reputation in the marketplace along with a tenacious work ethic and long track-record of integrity and productivity.”
