About
Professional Summary
I am a Vice President of Colliers International | South Carolina in the Spartanburg office. With my breadth of experience in master-planned communities, retail, residential, commercial and industrial development projects, my teammate and long-term real estate professional, Garrett Scott, and I guide clients through the development process from inception through lease-up. We do so successfully, not only in the Upstate, but across the Southeast as well.
Accomplishments
One of my most recent notable projects has been the redevelopment of Drayton Mills, a master-planned community in Spartanburg, but my development experience encompasses industrial land and parks in South Carolina and Georgia. I have overseen and developed thousands of acres of real estate and economic development projects worth billions of dollars, including Toray Carbon Fibers, Ritrama and Magna Seating. In 2018, I became a shareholder of Colliers International | South Carolina. I am the recipient of the Colliers | South Carolina 2018 Transaction of the Year Award.
My passion for my surrounding community is not just development focused. In addition to being a graduate of the Liberty Fellowship and the National Outdoor Leadership School, I have served on the Board of Trustees for Converse College, the Board of Directors for Glenn Springs Academy, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Upstate, SAFE Homes Rape Crisis Coalition, Spartanburg Community College Foundation and the University of South Carolina Upstate Foundation Board. I am a member of the Church of the Advent and am the current Chairman of the Commission of Public Works for the City of Spartanburg.

Education:
After graduating from the University of the South, I began my career with Carolina First Bank, where I gained a wealth of knowledge of the banking side of the development process. With an eye on a career in real estate development, I moved to New York and earned a Masters in Real Estate Development from Columbia University. With my sincere love of the Upstate, I moved back and joined Pacolet Milliken Enterprises, Inc. as Vice President of Real Estate. My six years with Pacolet Milliken was an invaluable professional experience and a full immersion in the Upstate commercial real estate market. In 2015, I opened my own development firm, Montgomery Development Group, and developed projects, while simultaneously advising developer and investor clients, including Pacolet Milliken.
My Team
Garrett Scott
Vice President
Spartanburg
I am a Vice President with Colliers International | South Carolina in the Spartanburg office, specializing in the leasing, sales and development advisory services for industrial properties across the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson market. Along with my experience in both brokerage and development, I work with teammates and industrial professionals John Montgomery and Brockon Hall to provide clients a unique perspective to their real estate decisions. Our focus is not just on the transaction nor how real estate can save a client money, but also how it can make them money by capitalizing on the operational abilities that a building and location offers. This provides a clearer path to what is really important in a locational decision.
With experience in both brokerage and development and a proven track record of providing innovative solutions to meet corporate objectives, I offer an advantage that clients seek out.
Brockton Hall
Senior Brokerage Associate
Greenville
I am a Senior Brokerage Associate for Colliers International | South Carolina and a part of the Upstate industrial team with Garrett Scott. My team and I specialize in the needs of industrial landlords and occupiers.
I come from a commercial construction background with years of experience in the commercial sector working on projects, including K-12, office and institutional. I also have significant renovation and retrofitting experience. My construction background allows me to assist occupiers with their building specifications and advise them during the build-to-suit and new construction process. For developers and investors, I can help advise on construction-related issues involved in tenant upfits, value add projects and new development.
