Christopher Finlay, chairman and CEO of Lloyd Jones, has announced the appointment of Jamie Telchin as executive vice president of development and construction management.
After a 10-year hiatus, Finlay is once again entering the multifamily development field. A prominent developer during the 1990s and through 2008, Finlay has spent the past 10 years focused on investing in existing product through his investment company, Lloyd Jones.
To that end, Finlay has hired Telchin.

He began his career developing and managing medical office buildings throughout Florida. He then spent the next 11 years serving as president of development for Luxury Resorts & Hotels, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group, where he led the renovation of the Boca Beach Club and the ground-up development of the luxury condominium, One Thousand Ocean, along with the entitlement of numerous projects across the portfolio.
At Lloyd Jones, Telchin directs all entities/departments involved in the development and construction of ground-up projects. In addition, he oversees the construction management team responsible for the value-add campaigns on existing assets.
Telchin holds an MBA from the University of Colorado at Denver and is active in the Urban Land Institute, where he serves as chair of the Multifamily Development Council for Florida and the Caribbean.
