Kilroy Realty has named Angela Aman as its new CEO, replacing John Kilroy Jr. who is stepping down next month, the firm announced on Thursday. 

Aman is currently the chief financial officer of Brixmor Property Trust, another publicly traded REIT that specializes in open-air shopping centers. She will assume her new job on Jan. 22. 

Kilroy Jr. announced in March that he would retire by the end of the year to pursue philanthropy work. He has led the real estate investment trust since 1996, when the firm was incorporated — its predecessor, Kilroy Industries, was founded by his father.
