Skip Beebe, a former CB Richard Ellis executive, died unexpectedly Monday night.

He also was the Robert H. Ledbetter Sr. Professor of the Practice of Real Estate Development in the College of Management at Georgia Tech.

Beebe retired from CB Richard Ellis in 2007 after 14 years of service, according to a company memo. While at the CBRE, he was president of the Eastern Division and was later promoted to the company’s chief learning officer.

In 2009 Beebe joined the faculty at Georgia Tech and helped elevate the school’s real estate-related course offerings “to the next level of educational excellence,” according to a memo from Steve Salbu, dean of the College of Management at Georgia Tech.

Service details are pending.
