PHOENIX, ARIZONA — Initiating a growth push in the state of Texas, Phoenix-based property management leader Arcadia Management Group (AMG) has relocated and promoted Sara Pilar to Regional Director of Property Management.
In her new role, Pilar will be responsible for the day-to-day management operations of AMG’s Texas properties and will also work in tandem with AMG President of Texas Operations Joe Ford to expand the company’s property management footprint in the state, to include account growth and the development of its Texas property management team through significant new hires.
“Sara’s thorough understanding of property management is matched by her genuine commitment to our clients,” said Arcadia Management Group President Gary Shaw. “We’re so appreciative that she agreed to relocate to be ‘boots on the ground’ in Texas – ready to respond to the state’s growing demand for property management services in what we consider to be a tremendous market for commercial real estate.”

Across her career, Pilar has provided property management services for millions of square feet of space spanning medical office, retail, industrial and Class A office holdings.
“I’m thrilled for this next stage in my career, at a company where I truly love the culture, the people, the clients and the values,” said Pilar. “I’m ready to dive in to the Texas market as an active member of the CRE community and as a leader tasked with growing our Texas presence through new relationships and an expanded in-house team.”
