He brings more than 15 years of experience in the industry to his new role.<\/p>\n<p>His responsibilities also include overseeing the firm\u2019s development and redevelopment activities nationwide, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/qa-has-office-real-estate-become-a-concierge-business\/\">focusing on asset management<\/a>, development and leasing.&nbsp;Before joining the company in 2011, Bilotto held several management positions at General Growth Properties.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his promotion, Bilotto worked as vice president of OPI since 2019 and was appointed chief operating officer in May 2020.&nbsp;He also serves as senior vice president of The RMR Group, where he supervises the management of the company&#8217;s office, industrial and retail properties.<\/p>\n<p>Bilotto\u2019s appointment comes after the company announced that Executive Vice President David Blackman is retiring from The RMR Group, effective June 30, 2021. Blackman will resign from his executive officer roles at OPI, RMR and other affiliated companies by the end of the year. He is the current president &amp; CEO of Office Properties Income Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Blackman joined the company in 2009 and will continue to work as a non-executive employee to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, since 2019, Blackman has been a managing trustee of OPI, a role he will retain until a successor is elected to the board or until his retirement, whichever happens first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The firm\u2019s vice president &#038; COO, Christopher Bilotto, will succeed David Blackman, who is retiring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1269,"featured_media":1004484310,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23891,21742,21744],"tags":[32959,44801,33461],"class_list":["post-1004484307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","category-latest","category-people","tag-general-growth-properties-inc","tag-office-properties-income-trust","tag-the-rmr-group"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Office Properties Income Trust Names New President - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Office Properties Income Trust Names New President\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The firm\u2019s vice president &amp; COO, Christopher Bilotto, will succeed David Blackman, who is retiring.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-10-13T13:11:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-10-14T13:23:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/10\/Christo.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"the Editors of Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/\",\"name\":\"Office Properties Income Trust Names New President - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/10\/Christo.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-13T13:11:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-10-14T13:23:26+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/1b82b91678533ae5d40e3240086a42bb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-properties-income-trust-names-new-president\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/10\/Christo.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/10\/Christo.jpg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":620,\"caption\":\"(Left to Right) Christopher Bilotto.
