“I couldn’t be more excited to take this role, at this time, at this company,” says Collins. “Both David Greaney and Synergy have built a reputation for being a best-in-class investor and operator, and this is a crucial time in our industry. I see the commercial office sector, in particular, as a long-term play and it is an exciting opportunity to work through this cycle – especially with an organization like Synergy.”

Prior to Clarion Partners, Collins worked at The Davis Companies, where he held the position of Vice President for Asset Management, managing a diversified portfolio across the eastern US. Collins spent more than a decade with Long Wharf Capital where he built his career from an Associate Asset Manager to the position of Director for Asset Management.   

A graduate of Bentley University, Collins holds a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) qualification and is a U.S. Military Veteran. A resident of Quincy, Collins is a member of NAIOP, REFA and a BID Downtown Boston board member.
