WOBURN, MASSACHUSETTS, July 31, 2024 – The Dolben Company, Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew K. Dolben as Chairman. This announcement follows the recent passing of Donald C. Dolben, the former Chairman, who had held the position since 1992.
Andrew K. Dolben (Drew) remarked, “I am honored to be named Chairman of The Dolben Company, Inc. and to continue the legacy established by three generations of the Dolben family. Together with my brother Deane, we will strive to make The Dolben Company, Inc. the premier regional operator of multifamily apartments while paving the way for future generations to succeed.”
Drew officially joined The Dolben Company, Inc. in 1982, having been informally involved from a young age through family discussions. He spent many summers working on the grounds and maintenance teams at various properties managed by Dolben. His first full-time position was as a Regional Property Manager, but he soon discovered a passion for the development side of the business. His initial development project was a 13-unit condominium complex in Salem, MA. Since then, Drew and his team have developed over 10,000 units of multifamily housing across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Florida, with a combined value exceeding $2.5 billion.
Dolben’s President, Deane H. Dolben stated, “As we enter the next chapter of The Dolben Company, Inc., Drew will be a steady guiding hand for the business and a role model for the fifth generation of leaders already within our ranks. Drew has a deep passion for the business, our clients, and our employees and he exemplifies the core values of stewardship, performance, and loyalty that we live every day.”
In addition to his professional achievements, Drew has been an active participant in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) for over 30 years. The PMC is a 164-mile charity bike ride benefiting the Dana Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund, and Team Dolben has raised more than $1.5 million for the charity.
Drew also serves as a Director of the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and holds the Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).
