2026 Women in CRE: Jennifer DApice and Colleen Cohan of The Mega Group

Jennifer DApice
Director, Controller, and Co-Owner
The Mega Group

What experience has helped shape the expertise you bring to commercial real estate?
Prior to joining The Mega Group, I was an advisor at Fidelity Investments, where I earned multiple licenses administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, including my Series 7 license. I am also a graduate of American Intercontinental University. That financial and business background has provided valuable experience that I bring to my role as Director, Controller and Co-Owner of The Mega Group, a commercial real estate firm specializing in investment and commercial sales, hospitality investments, retail and industrial leasing, real estate development and retail property management.

What areas of commercial real estate are you focused on in your work today?
As a licensed Real Estate Broker, my book of business spans Medical Office, Retail and Indoor Sports facilities. In addition to my responsibilities as Director and Controller, I remain active in brokerage with an annual goal of 110,000 s/f of leased commercial space. Through The Mega Group, our work extends throughout Greater Boston and Massachusetts, Rhode Island, the New Hampshire seacoast and southern Maine.

What experience has helped shape the expertise you bring to commercial real estate?
I am a graduate of Essex Agricultural and Technical Institute, where I earned an AS in Applied Science and received the Highest Achievement Award in Culinary Arts & Restaurant Management. I also attended Moorpark College for Accounting & Taxation, which provided additional experience in business applications. That broad educational and business background complements the experience I bring to my work as a licensed Real Estate Salesperson with The Mega Group.

What areas of commercial real estate are you focused on in your work today?
I specialize in Office, Retail and Hospitality, with a primary focus on restaurants and salons. My book of business takes me throughout Massachusetts and into the seacoast region of New Hampshire. Working within those markets allows me to focus on the commercial sectors where my background and experience are especially relevant, with an annual goal of 80,000 s/f of sold and leased commercial space.
