Watkins will help direct Lincoln’s regional portfolio of more than 6 million square feet.

PHOENIX— Lincoln Property Company ‘s Desert West region has posted a record 18 months, with more than $300 million in investment and development activity, and the addition of more than 1 million square feet of new property management assignments. As part of that record-breaking activity, the company has promoted Megan Watkins to associate director of management services. In her new role, Watkins will help direct Lincoln’s regional portfolio of more than 6 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space. She will also work with company leadership to expand the already-active regional property management footprint. “We have grown–and continue to grow–from our superior results and stellar relationships,” said Watkins. “Lincoln has an outstanding pipeline of opportunities that I am excited and honored to represent.” For the past two years, Watkins has served as president of the Greater Phoenix chapter of BOMA , an organization of more than 300 local members providing education and advocacy for the commercial real estate industry. “Megan has an extremely positive presence and reputation–achievements she has earned through hard work, client commitment and a deep knowledge of the market,” said Lincoln Property Company’s executive vice president David Krumwiede . “She is a true reflection of the high standards of Lincoln Property Company and a valued addition to our leadership team.” During her 17-year career, Watkins has been involved with the management of more than 1.3 million square feet of Arizona real estate, working closely with local and institutional clients, tenants, vendors and contractors, and implementing company-wide policies and procedures for property management, marketing and compliance. She most recently served as senior property manager of Paradise Village Office Park , where she was instrumental in the renovation of the class-A Paradise Valley office project. John Orsak , director of real estate, Lincoln Property Company, tells GlobeSt.com: “Megan has had a successful career managing buildings around the Valley for over 15 years. We are thrilled to elevate her from within our ranks to lead those efforts for LPC.” Watkins earned her Real Property Administrator designation through the Building Owners and Managers Institute in 2008 and Facilities Management Administrator designation in 2010. In 2015, she was part of the Lincoln Property team accepting The Outstanding Building of the Year or TOBY award, the highest award possible from BOMA for Lincoln Property’s management of the Arizona Game and Fish department headquarters in Phoenix. The building was among only 14 buildings to earn the international honor.
