DOLBEN ANNOUNCES MANAGER OF THE YEAR AND PROPERTY OF THE YEAR

July 15, 2013, WOBURN, MA – The Dolben Company, Inc. (“Dolben”), a full-service Boston-based real estate company, is proud to announce that Marie Moraski has been named Manager of the Year, and that 100 Memorial Drive has been named Property of the Year. Both awards were given at Dolben’s Annual Awards Ceremony, held in late June.  

Ms. Moraski is Property Manager at Longview at Georgetown, a 186-unit apartment community in Georgetown, Massachusetts. Under Ms. Moraski’s leadership and guidance, Longview at Georgetown has become one of Dolben’s most successful properties, with a leasing and maintenance team that is always willing to go above and beyond for residents. Keith Corriveau, Regional Property Manager, noted, “Marie is a manager that others rely on for the “quick” question, she is the one that managers turn to for confirmation that they are doing it right, and she is the one who helps out with staffing or coverage issues. Longview is a community where both the employees and residents are proud to call home, and we are very pleased to recognize Marie with this award.”

100 Memorial Drive, a 261-unit apartment community located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was recognized as Property of The Year. All Dolben-managed properties are evaluated in a number of categories, including income growth, property audit scores, closing ratios, shopping report scores, and resident retention, among other aspects. The staff at Memorial Drive boasts a long tenure with Dolben, with several team members who have been with the company for more than 20 years.  Team members include Brian Shapiro, Property Manager; Elizabeth Dolben, Assistant Property Manager; Tom Feldman, Senior Leasing Consultant; Dennis O’Leary, Maintenance Supervisor; and Tony Mello, Maintenance Technician. The property also has a summer intern, Nate Marchand, who is a junior at Tufts University. Thomas D. Beaton, Senior Vice President, Management, said, “Each year, we look closely at every property in our portfolio in order to determine which one will be named Property of the Year. We had several properties that ranked highly in every category, and we are extremely proud to name 100 Memorial Drive as this year’s winner.”
