David Burback Takes Reins at Two Grubb Offices

Burback, who joined Grubb & Ellis in 2005 as managing director of the company's South Bay office in Los Angeles, was head of the company's national industrial group before becoming the acting managing director of the Grubb & Ellis Anaheim office for the past six months. In Anaheim, he fills a position that has been vacant for some time. In the Inland Empire, he succeeds Mano Leventakis, who has left the company.

Before joining Grubb & Ellis, Burback was a principal for six years at Northwest Realty Advisors, where he specialized in commercial investment services. He also spent four years as the senior vice president and general manager of Colliers International's Portland office, a position he assumed in 1995. Earlier, he spent 14 years with CB Richard Ellis in various management positions, including senior vice president and managing director of the firm's Inland Empire office.
