DETROIT, MI (February 23, 2026)—Savills today announced the addition of Michael Bennett, Corporate Managing Director, and Addison Williams, Managing Director, Capital Markets, strengthening the firm’s Detroit platform across corporate services and capital markets.
“Savills has established a market-leading platform with meaningful share, and the addition of senior producers like Michael and Addison materially deepens our leadership bench while creating a clear pathway to develop the next generation of talent,” said Greg Bockart, Vice Chairman and Detroit Market Leader at Savills. “We are executing a disciplined growth strategy and will continue to recruit premier talent across the region. Our global platform and collaborative model position us to expand market share and support increasingly sophisticated client needs at both the local and international level.”
Bennett brings more than 40 years of commercial real estate experience advising occupiers on industrial and office strategies at the local, national, and global levels. He has extensive expertise in tenant representation and new construction, with over 2 million square feet of build-to-suit projects throughout his career. A long-time Detroit market veteran, Bennett joins Savills from Colliers International, where he served as Executive Vice President and led strategic partner assignments for General Motors across North America. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Corvus International, Trammell Crow Company, and Farbman Group. His addition further strengthens Savills’ senior leadership bench and expands the firm’s reach among corporate occupiers.
“What attracted me to Savills is the chance to help build a team, expand the local platform, and leverage my regional and national experience,” Bennett said. “Clients are increasingly looking for a firm that can deliver true advisory work and broader solutions, and Savills is well-positioned to meet that demand. I’m excited to be part of the momentum and growth underway here in Detroit.”
In addition to Bennett’s hire, Savills also welcomed Addison Williams, who joins the Detroit office as Managing Director of Capital Markets and operates on a national scale. Williams brings eight years of investment sales experience, all at CBRE, where he was a member of the firm’s Net Lease Property Group and a trusted advisor for income-producing real estate transactions nationwide. Williams represents private and institutional clients across industrial, retail, office, and multifamily asset classes, delivering advisory and execution services tied to all facets of the capital markets. At Savills, Williams will leverage a sophisticated suite of capital solutions, including sale-leasebacks, equity placements, and recapitalizations, to deepen the firm’s existing tenant partnerships and provide a decisive edge in new business pursuits. By adding a capital markets lens, he will help clients view their real estate not just as space, but as a flexible financial instrument to drive growth.
“My job is to leverage the capital markets to a client’s advantage,” said Williams. “By pairing my expertise in capital markets with Savills dominant tenant rep platform, we can offer clients a more holistic menu of solutions, solving for their operational needs and their balance sheet goals simultaneously.”
