Winter Park, Florida-based multifamily developer Hillpointe has hired Jamie Telchin as its vice president of development, according to a news release. In his new role, Telchin will be responsible for leading the development team for the company’s Pointe Grand for-sale and for-rent homes.
Telchin has over 20 years of leadership experience in development and redevelopment across numerous sectors of commercial real estate construction. Throughout his career, he has been responsible for approximately 7 million square feet of new construction, totaling $2 billion in development costs.
In his previous role, Telchin was the senior managing director for Boca Raton, Florida-based real estate firm Waypoint Residential, which has developed and acquired over 35,000 units nationwide with a total capitalization of approximately $6 billion. He was responsible for overseeing the development of multifamily projects throughout the U.S., with a focus on Florida.
Telchin has held executive positions at multiple national and local developers, including LXR, an affiliate of New York City-based The Blackstone Group, where he served as executive vice president of development for luxury residential properties. He has served on national and regional product councils for the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Land Institute since 2008, and was the chair of the ULI’s Multi-Family Development Council for Florida and the Caribbean from 2018 to 2020.
“Jamie [will] take our development team to the next level of growth and efficiency,” said Steven Campisi, co-founder and managing partner at Hillpointe, in the release. “We look forward to working with Jamie and his team as he develops greater processes and systems to ensure that we are developing our land cost effectively to meet the growing need for multifamily housing in the nation.”
Hillpointe — the fifth-largest builder and sixth-largest developer on the National Multifamily Housing Council’s latest Top 50 lists — is a fully integrated real estate firm developing multifamily housing in the Sun Belt region, particularly Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The company specializes in providing multifamily rental housing that is affordable to people who earn between 60% to 120% of the area median income, or about $50,000 to $85,000 annually.
