Professionals

Douglas Pack joined Avison Young in 2016 as a Principal to build the office project leasing team in Houston. With more than 20 years of experience in Commercial Real Estate, Doug oversees the Agency Leasing team in Houston with his partner Sam Hansen.

Prior to Avison Young, Doug was Executive Vice President at NAI Partners, working aggressively to advance project leasing, property management and investment sales. In this role, Pack more than tripled the size of the division’s agency office leasing portfolio - growing it to 3.8 million square feet of Class “A” and “B” office product, as of February 2016. Also, in the last two and a half years, Doug has brokered sixteen (16) Class “B” office building investment sales totaling over $65,000,000 to both local and institutional commercial real estate investors – establishing himself as one of the premier investment sales brokers of that type of commercial office product in the Houston market.

As a veteran in the real estate industry, Doug has a strong reputation and track record in the development and execution of successful leasing project platforms. Doug started his commercial real estate career with Boxer Property in 1994, and during his tenure, he held several leadership positions in both leasing and operations. As a key executive with success on both property management and agency leasing, Doug was responsible for developing Boxer’s third-party management and leasing service line—which grew to over 5 million square feet during his tenure. He also led all business development and supervised the third-party portfolio, its management and leasing platform, and the asset management team.

Doug served for ten years as Boxer’s Director of Leasing, responsible for a portfolio of over 8 million square feet with assets located across the United States. The portfolio consisted of office, medical office, retail and multi-family properties. Prior to that position, he was Regional Director of Operations for a portfolio of office buildings in Dallas and Tulsa covering 2 million square feet of assets. Upon his successful implementation of the Boxer management and leasing program, the Tulsa portfolio was sold to a third party investor. Doug has been active in all facets of real estate management and leasing for almost two decades, and his accomplishments include assisting in the creation of the leasing portion of the Boxer policy manual, establishing policies and procedures, and internal controls and operational guidelines, as well as the development of the vertical integration of internal services for property management, which resulted in significant operational savings to both Boxer and its third party clients.
