On Team Tobin since 1992
Jason Tobin is President and COO of Tobin and represents the third generation of the family to run the company. He is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company, assuring that the right people and logistics are in place to maintain the Tobin tradition of delivering value to our customers and partners. Jason manages a full pipeline of opportunities for investors, including real estate ventures, property acquisition/disposition, and construction. He oversees the asset management and leasing of the entire Tobin portfolio, throughout the United States, having successfully negotiated tens of millions of square feet of leases. Jason “hangs out at about 30,000 feet,” a vantage point from which he can view the big picture as he creates and develops real estate strategies. He did, however, “make his bones” by deep diving into the most minute roles and details in the company.
For nearly thirty years, Jason has used his extensive experience in management, leasing and real estate brokerage operations to bring meaningful change to the value of many of Tobin’s investments as well as those of our partners and clients. He has helped guide Tobin in realizing opportunities in the retail, residential, office and medical property arenas. Relying on his years of experience and instincts, he adds value at every stage, from ground up development to project fruition because of his consistent intense focus.
