JLL has expanded its East Bay office platform with the addition of Scott Greenwood as managing director. Based in the firm's East Bay office, Greenwood will concentrate on agency leasing assignments, with responsibilities that span the broader East Bay and Oakland office markets. His role centers on advising owners on positioning and leasing their assets in a changing market environment.
Greenwood brings two decades of commercial real estate experience to JLL. Over the course of his career, he has completed more than four million square feet of leasing transactions, reflecting a significant track record in negotiating and executing office and related property leases. In addition to his leasing work, he has also been involved in more than $800 million in sales transactions, underscoring his exposure to both occupier and capital markets dynamics within the region.
His practice focuses on office, flex, and specialty properties located across several key East Bay cities, including Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley and Alameda. By working across these submarkets, Greenwood has built experience with a range of product types and ownership strategies, from traditional office assets to more specialized and flexible formats. That background positions him to support agency leasing clients that may be navigating different asset profiles within the same portfolio or submarket.
Commenting on his move, Greenwood described the East Bay office market as being at an inflection point with what he sees as compelling long-term opportunity. He noted that he is joining JLL to leverage the firm's global platform and to work with a team focused on helping owners and occupiers position assets strategically in a shifting environment. His emphasis on strategy and positioning reflects the importance of proactive leasing and asset management approaches as markets evolve.
Prior to joining JLL, Greenwood served as a senior vice president at CBRE. In that role, he led a substantial portfolio of Oakland agency assignments, giving him direct experience representing ownership groups in leasing efforts across the city. That background now feeds into his mandate at JLL, where his agency leasing focus and long-standing relationships in Oakland and the broader East Bay are expected to support institutional and private owners seeking to navigate current and future market conditions.
