Columbia Property Trust has appointed Adam Frazier as president and CEO of the company, effective September 19. Frazier, who most recently served as head of New York-vice president for Oxford Properties Group, will be responsible for leading Columbia’s long-term business strategy, capital allocation decisions and oversight of day-to-day operations.
Frazier succeeds Nelson Mills, who has served as Columbia’s CEO since 2012. Mills will transition to the position of non-executive chairman of Columbia’s board of directors.
“We are excited to welcome Adam as President and CEO,” said Mills. “Adam possesses a wealth of experience and expertise across asset management, investments, and development that will greatly benefit Columbia and its stakeholders. As importantly, he has a proven ability to build and lead successful teams. I am proud of our team’s success, reputation and culture and have every confidence that Adam will help take Columbia to even greater heights.”
Prior to Oxford, Frazier spent nearly seven years in leadership positions at Boston Properties, in development and then as a vice president of leasing, where he was responsible for developing and executing a successful leasing program across the firm’s New York portfolio.
