The former Director of Real Estate
for Lennar Homes and Sr. Vice-President of Khovnanian Homes, Nishan
Topjian has joined the Hogan Companies as Vice President of Development.
At Lennar, Mr. Topjian handled acquisition, entitlement and development
for the national firm. Within an eighteen month period, he secured over
three thousand (3,000) residential home sites in Maryland. He also
formed joint ventures for off-book acquisition and development ventures
with other national builders.
As Sr. Vice President Real Estate for Khovnanian, a top 10 builder in
the nation, he negotiated and acquired over 36 new home communities
(2,700 lots) in Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgomery, Charles and Prince
George’s Counties, and was a team leader in the acquisition of two
publicly traded companies. Prior to that, Nishan was the Director of
Development for Manor Care Health Services where he managed zoning,
entitlement, and development of assets in excess of $55 million in 13
new markets and 6 states.
Prior to his work with these national companies, Nishan was with local
developer, Colton Development for 8 years where he managed all aspects
of residential and commercial development projects from feasibility and
land acquisition through entitlements and construction. While there, he
managed the development and construction of a $22 million dollar
corporate headquarters campus consisting of two million square feet of
office space adjacent to the College Park Metro Station. Prior to that,
he spent 6 years working for Sami Totah at the Quad Group where he
managed the finance and accounting department for this real estate
investment and Development Company and supervised the development of
2,800 residential lots in Prince George’s County.
As Vice President of Development for the Hogan Companies, Nishan Topjian
will oversee development, development consulting, and development
management operations for the company. He will assist their investor,
lender, and builder clients with their development management needs
during this difficult environment. Hogan Companies’ Distressed Asset
Group is assisting many lenders with protecting the entitlements of
assets and working them through the process. They are providing
development management services for many national equity funds who are
acquiring land assets and need local development expertise. In addition,
the firm is providing development consulting for builder and development
clients who have reduced staffing and are outsourcing to the Hogan
Companies for services they used to handle in-house.
The Hogan Companies are a diverse group of real estate and financial
businesses that provide development, investment, brokerage and
consulting services. The firm is headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland
and represents national, regional and local clients throughout the
mid-Atlantic region. The companies offer the full spectrum of real
estate services which can be tailored to the individual needs of
clients. Many of Hogan’s long time friends and clients are more in need
of their services than ever before. The entire Hogan team is focused on
doing everything they can to help them restructure, reposition,
refinance or dispose of assets. |
