PHOENIX, Arizona – Lincoln Property Company (LPC) has hired industry veteran Afton Trail as Director of Property Management for the Desert West region. In her new role, Trail directs LPC’s Desert West portfolio of almost 10 million square feet of landmark office, industrial and retail space. She is also charged with identifying and pursuing opportunities to grow the LPC property management brand in the Desert West region states of Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico.
“Our Desert West property management portfolio is very diverse. It requires someone with equally strong industry knowledge to support our tenants and customers with the high-quality solutions they expect from Lincoln,” said Lincoln Property Company Executive Vice President David Krumwiede. “Afton has stepped into this role very successfully. We welcome her to the team and look forward to all she will do to continue our mission of excellence and help grow our property management footprint in the Desert West markets.”
Trail’s career spans almost 40 years in commercial real estate, including past roles in property management, asset management, leasing, acquisitions, dispositions and talent management.

Among these are The Grand at Papago Park Center, 3131/3133 Camelback, Promenade Corporate Center, Luhrs City Center, Paradise Village Office Park and the ADOA and ADEQ buildings in downtown Phoenix, as well as 5 million square feet of industrial product.
This team is also part of the national LPC property management group, which at more than 403 million square feet represents one of the nation’s largest commercial real estate property management portfolios.
“I’m thrilled to join such a prestigious team and to represent such notable projects,” said Trail. “The fact that our portfolio is made up of not only Lincoln-owned assets but also a significant book of third-party management assignments gives us a lot of opportunity to solve complex business needs and drive new business as we continue to uphold Lincoln’s focus on quality and customer service.”
Prior to joining LPC Trail held executive leadership positions with CBRE and Cushman and Wakefield, where she provided oversight to property management teams across multiple markets and directed client care and development programs across all lines of business.
