Baltimore, MD — Greenberg Gibbons announced that it has appointed Courtney Smith as executive vice president, Head of Asset Management and Leasing. This newly created leadership role supports the firm’s continued growth and long-term investment strategy to expand its portfolio of premier retail and mixed-use properties.

In this role, Smith is responsible for maximizing the performance, value, and long-term positioning of Greenberg Gibbons’ assets. He will lead portfolio-level strategy, oversee leasing direction and negotiations, strengthen key tenant relationships, and advance investor communications and reporting. Smith will work closely with the firm’s development and investment teams to ensure alignment across projects as Greenberg Gibbons continues to expand throughout the East Coast.

“Courtney’s experience investing in and optimizing large-scale retail portfolios makes him a strong and exciting addition to our leadership team,” said Eric Walter, president of Greenberg Gibbons. “As our portfolio grows in size and complexity, he will bring even sharper focus to asset performance, tenant quality, and investor confidence, positioning us well for the future.”

Smith has over two decades of experience in asset management, leasing, and investments. Prior to joining Greenberg Gibbons, he served as senior vice president of investments and asset management at Washington Prime Group, where he led strategic asset management and transaction activity across a $2.5 billion portfolio of open-air shopping centers. He also previously held leadership roles at RPT Realty and Retail Properties of America, where he managed property portfolios, negotiated retail acquisitions and dispositions. He is a former recipient of Chain Store Age’s 10 Under 40 in Real Estate and is a member of ICSC and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). Smith earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance and a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Florida A&M University.

Greenberg Gibbons also recently appointed Chris Edgar as Vice President of Capital Strategy to oversee investor relations and strategic fundraising initiatives across the organization. Mr. Edgar will complement Mr. Smith’s leadership, as the firm continues to expand across the East Coast, with multiple developments in the pipeline, including the $500+ million, mixed-use Midtown64 development that recently broke ground in Richmond, VA.
