Core Investments promotes Forman and Hanlan - hires Paige

Boston, MA Core Investments, Inc., a real estate development and investment company, has promoted two team members. Craig Forman was promoted to assistant controller and Craig Hanlan is moving to senior accountant, also adding Liz Paige to the Core team as executive assistant.

The two promotions, along with a number of additions to the Core Investments staff, reflect the growing presence of Core’s property, management, and development role in the area.

“Craig Forman has been an essential part of the management team, and we’re excited to have him take this next step on his journey here at Core,” said Jess Blackerby, who was recently promoted to vice president and controller at Core. “And Craig Hanlan has done a great job learning the accounting processes here at Core, and I know he’ll be a strong asset as he begins to contribute to our reporting goals.”

Forman was an accounting manager at Core Investments and previously worked as an accounting manager at Barkan Management Co. Inc. and was a property accountant at Metropolitan Properties of America. He attended UMass Amherst.

Hanlan, who was a staff accountant at Core Investments, previously was employed at the Boston Consulting Group and at Berklee College of Music. 

He was in the Masters in Business Administration program at Simmons University and received a Bachelor’s of Science degree at the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University.

Liz Paige, executive assistant at Core Investments, was previously a site manager at the security company Allied Universal. She studied business administration and management and has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wright State University.

Core Investments has added seven employees this year and continues to grow. The two promotions and hiring of Paige, along with other recent new additions to Core’s team of professionals, will contribute to the ongoing and future development of the emerging On the Dot neighborhood around Dorchester Ave. and other significant Core properties in South Boston and elsewhere in Greater Boston.

On the Dot is a 20-plus acre assemblage of former industrial land, the future site for commercial and residential development, along Dorchester Ave. in South Boston between Andrew Sq. and Broadway Station on the MBTA’s Red Line.

On the Dot has unparalleled location and transportation advantages to serve Boston’s rapidly growing life sciences sector and meet existing intense demand for lab space. It is near both I-93 and I-90 highways.

Core Investments led the transformative development of Washington Village, a million-square-foot mixed-use project on a nearby five acres in South Boston. With partner Samuels & Associates, that project has begun construction.

Core Investments, Inc. and Core Real Properties LLC were founded by David Pogorelc, who is chief executive officer and has been active in Boston real estate for 30 years.
