KBS Appoints Katy Grober as Vice President, Investment Manager for Mid-Atlantic Region

KBS announced it has rehired Katy Grober as vice president, investment manager for its Mid-Atlantic region.

Grober previously served in several roles within KBS’ investment management team. “Katy played a key role in our investment management team in the Mid-Atlantic and brings valuable experience that will directly support performance across the portfolio,” said Marc DeLuca, KBS CEO and regional president, Eastern U.S.

In her role, Grober oversees a portfolio of office assets spanning Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland, suburban Philadelphia and KBS’ largest asset in Chicago – Accenture Tower. She is responsible for advancing asset-level strategy, operating performance and execution across the portfolio, including leasing, capital planning and long-term value creation.

Originally joining KBS in 2013 as a regional administrator, Grober advanced through roles, including investment analyst, investment associate and senior investment associate. She worked closely with DeLuca and Allen Aldridge, senior vice president, acquisitions and co-director of investment management, before departing in 2024 to pursue additional real estate experience. She rejoined KBS in early 2026.
