Stream Realty Partners has hired a new vice president of office leasing in Houston to unlock the potential of the area’s real estate assets.

Brian Strait just started at Stream, a national real estate services, development and investment company. The native Houstonian will be responsible for identifying strategic opportunities for clients while marketing and leasing commercial properties for private and institutional owners.

Strait comes to the firm from Lincoln Property Company, where he spent nearly 12 years overseeing the leasing of about 1.7 million square feet of office space in nine properties throughout the Greater Houston area.

Strait earned a bachelor’s degree in government at The University of Texas at Austin before starting his career at Lincoln. He will be working in the Stream Houston office, which completed 414 transactions in 2020 for a total of 49.1 million square feet of leased and managed office and industrial space.

Strait is a licensed real estate salesperson in Texas and a member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP). In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his family and helping coach his kids’ Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association teams.
