The Colorado Chapter President of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors elected Todd Witty, a senior vice president at CBRE, a commercial real estate company, as the chapter president for 2023, according to a press release.

The SIOR, which has more than 3,200 members in 685 cities and 36 countries, describes itself as the leading organization that certifies commercial real estate service providers.

Witty, who specializes in representing industrial property owners and developers in the Denver market of industrial real estate with 20 years of experience, will oversee and represent the Colorado chapter’s board of directors. 

His induction took place at the Fall World Conference in Dallas, Texas, in late October.

He has received several awards, including his recognition as one of Denver Metro Commercial Association of Realtors Heavy Hitters for multiple years. Currently, Witty lists over 10 million square feet of Denver industrial properties.

“I’m proud to lead the organization’s efforts in Colorado, one of the nation’s most dynamic markets and a region seeing persistent industrial market strength and growth,” Witty said in a press release.
