Colliers has hired Josh Busby, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of commercial real estate experience, as senior vice president retail services in Central Florida. Busby will partner with Nate Cutchin and focus on tenant and landlord representation.
Busby and Cutchin previously worked together at CREC, which was acquired by Colliers in 2018. Following the acquisition, Cutchin joined the Colliers team as senior vice president. Busby moved on to Franklin Street prior to the acquisition. He reconnected with Cutchin professionally while serving as the senior real estate manager for Surterra Wellness.

In this role, he negotiated leases for 60 locations nationwide. In Central Florida, Cutchin served as Surterra Wellness’ tenant rep helping Busby to execute more than 20 leases in the area.
“Josh’s addition to Colliers strengthens our retail brokerage capabilities and underscores our commitment to providing clients with unmatched service and expertise,” said Alex Evans, managing director at Colliers. “Not only does he have an impressive history in the industry, he also shares our commitment to collaboration. Furthermore, his reunion with Nathan Cutchins will create a powerful synergy as they work together on select deals while also pursuing individual opportunities.”
Prior to joining Colliers, Busby served as vice president of retail services for Archon Commercial Real Estate. During his career, he has also selected development sites for notable firms such as WMG Development, where he served as regional development manager, and Red Bell Partners.
“I am extremely excited to join the amazing Colliers retail team and partner back up with Nate Cutchin,” said Busby. “Since moving to Orlando in 2010, Colliers has always been a leader in client relationships and executing complex and difficult negotiations and I’m proud to now be part of the team.“
Busby earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from DePaul University. During his career, he has been a member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).
