At its April 14 meeting, the MassDevelopment Board of Directors unanimously chose Marty Jones as the Agency’s new President and CEO. Ms. Jones, previously the president of Boston building, development, and property management company Corcoran Jennison, has spent decades in the real-estate industry. She got her start at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in both the Washington and Boston offices.
At Corcoran Jennison, Ms. Jones managed staff and project teams for new development projects that transformed communities, directed asset management for multifamily portfolios, chaired a joint venture between Corcoran Jennison and Beacon Communities, and directed all aspects of the Westminster Company, a 175-employee operation with 66 properties and 5,000 apartment units in North and South Carolina.
Ms. Jones graduated from Brown University and resides in Winchester.
Like so many across the globe, due to Covid-19, MassEcon is not working from the office for the foreseeable future, but we’re still up and running. With much consideration, we will not be holding in-person meetings until at least mid-July, but will be holding committee meetings via conference call, strategizing on how to bring you programming and business opportunities, and building our membership. Feel free to reach out to any of our staff with questions, concerns, or ideas on how we can continue to work together through this time. We wish you the best during this difficult time.
