NewQuest has expanded its leadership bench, appointing industry veteran Matt Parsons as executive vice president and managing director of tenant representation. In this newly created position, Parsons will guide the firm's tenant representation platform and provide senior leadership aimed at growing the division. He joins NewQuest from JLL, where he most recently served as executive vice president, and his prior experience includes roles with Phillips Edison & Co. in Ohio and CBRE in Houston.
Griffin Partners is also making senior leadership changes across its national portfolio. Kelly Agent, who has led property services for the company since 2022, is being promoted to Chief Operating Officer. In a parallel move, longtime principal Lee Moreland, a 38-year commercial real estate veteran and Griffin principal since 2006, will take on the firm's newly formed role of Chief Portfolio Officer. Both executives will continue to report to Edward Griffin, the company's CEO and Chief Investment Officer. Since its founding in 1980, Griffin Partners has acquired or developed 60 projects encompassing more than 18 million square feet and $2.7 billion in total capitalization.
On the investment sales front, San Antonio-based Koontz Corporation has completed the disposition of Phase I of Westport Industrial Park, a Class A industrial development located at South Callaghan Road and Texas Highway 151 in San Antonio's growing Northwest industrial corridor. Nuveen Real Estate acquired the first phase of the project, which was 79% leased at the time of sale. JLL brokered the transaction and represented both the buyer and the seller. The sale highlights the continued interest in modern industrial assets in established logistics locations within San Antonio.
In the Houston office market, Accesso has tapped Stream Partners to lead leasing efforts at 10333 Richmond, an 11-story, 218,746-square-foot office building in the Westchase submarket. Current availabilities in the property range from suites of approximately 1,400 square feet up to more than 60,000 square feet, including full-floor opportunities on the second floor and on floors five through seven. Stream's Brandon Levinson and senior associate Parker Noble will direct leasing strategy and execution for the building on behalf of Accesso.
Taken together, these moves across leadership, investment sales, and leasing illustrate ongoing portfolio optimization and asset-level repositioning in key Texas office and industrial submarkets, with both local operators and institutional capital continuing to pursue growth and leasing momentum.
