Ash was promoted to senior associate in 2012 and over the last three years has been involved in multiple land transactions leading to the construction of nearly 2,000 beds of student housing. He is experienced in investment opportunities ranging from selling income streams of various types, directing and managing the full scope of CBRE's brokerage services to achieve lease stabilization, infill repurposing and land acquisition and assemblage slated for development or investment.

“Partnering with Brian Smuckler and Jeff Seaman in our Phoenix office will be a valuable initiative for investors looking to place capital,” says Ash. “On top of the massive platform CBRE provides, the partnership will open up opportunities for our clients Arizona-wide. Our clients will have more exposure, options, flexibility and ultimately, it will provide a larger scale of ability to maneuver. The team's infrastructure will allow us to hit the ground running and offer best in class service in Tucson. It's an exciting prospect.”

Ash is a graduate of the University of Arizona in Tucson where he studied business administration and marketing. A varsity athlete while at UA, Ash was a member of the Wildcat men's basketball program, including the 1997 NCAA National Championship and 2001 NCAA National Runner-Up Teams.
