Marc Levin began his career at Chestnut Hill Realty more than 20 years ago and has made significant contributions to the quality and value of the Company’s portfolio ever since. Since joining the Company, he has overseen almost $100 million in development activity. In his current role as Director of Development, he oversees development efforts for the Company’s existing properties, serves as project manager or supervises project management activities, and works with local permitting authorities. He also manages CHR’s 155,000-square-foot commercial portfolio located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and has negotiated commercial leases valued in excess of $75 million. Mr. Levin’s most recent development activities include an extensive renovation of the 86-unit Alden Tower, one of three luxury high-rise condominium towers in Brookline’s landmark Longwood Towers complex. Other recent projects include securing approvals from local zoning boards of appeals and the conservation commission for a new clubhouse at Norwood Gardens, and successfully working with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to get approval for 48 new units at Ridgecrest Village. He also obtained approvals for 83 additional infill units and a new clubhouse at Norwest Woods which he successfully constructed over the last five years.

In 1987 he successfully oversaw the transformation of the Village at Chestnut Hill shopping center from a dated relic of the post World War II era to an attractive, thriving neighborhood mall with a highly desirable tenant mix. In his capacity as the project manager, he led the comprehensive rehabilitation of the 90,000 square foot commercial space and worked closely with local area residents to understand their needs. As a result, the popular shopping center, now called Hancock Village at Chestnut Hill, is fully occupied and its merchants have some of the highest performing stores in their respective chains. Mr. Levin also coordinated all phases of the planning, permitting and construction of Chestnut Hill Realty’s 30,000 square foot corporate headquarters in 2001. In 1999, Mr. Levin was part of a public/private collaborative team that was charged with reinvigorating Boston’s Roslindale Square area. He researched and made recommendations for possible sites to build a new 20,000 square foot medical and dental center. Ultimately, one of the sites he suggested was approved and the facility was constructed. Mr. Levin is a member of Chestnut Hill Realty’s Executive and Investment Committees. He is a licensed real estate broker and received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
