The business was formed earlier this year as part of a strategic growth plan. Travis, in particular, Lipton says, was a key component of the deal. "Project management is definitely an area we plan to develop further." Lipton himself is relatively new to the Grubb & Ellis Washington, DC-team, as is Margaret Donkerbrook, vice president, managing director.
