Bio
After a successful business management career in the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence community, Doug Eliot transitioned to real estate brokerage. His knowledge of tenant requirements, including construction costs, communications requirements, and the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) accreditation process, are a direct result of hands-on experience. Doug joined Avison Young as a result of the June 2011 acquisition of Millennium Realty Advisors.
Doug has established a solid track record of success with landlord representation, which has included more than 4 million square feet. He has been directly involved in several of the largest lease transactions in Northern Virginia, including EPA - 435,000 sf prelease in Crystal City, Exodus - 605,000 sf prelease, CACI - 220,000 sf, and the Aerospace Corporation - 60,000 sf. Similarly, with more than 50 tenant representation assignments and the recent 75,000 sf Carfax headquarters expansion, Doug has a firm understanding of tenant needs. His direct involvement in development projects also provides an understanding that benefits both landlords and tenants. Projects include a 46,000 sf speculative flex product, a 96,000 sf industrial product, a 60,000 sf mid-rise office, a 70,000 sf office-to-condo conversion, and an 80,000 sf flex redevelopment.
Prior to brokerage, Doug served as business director for the Aerospace Corporation. During his tenure there, he was selected for a Congressional Fellowship where he performed legislative work for a U.S. Senator during the 106th session. Previously, Doug served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, managing the acquisition of intelligence and communications systems.
