New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; and Washington, DC, Jamestown is a leader in acquisitions and value
added management. For more than 30 years, Jamestown has generated approximately $9 billion in strategic
investments, and the firm currently owns several prominent assets, including Chelsea Market and One Times
Square in New York City, Ponce City Market and Westside Provisions District in Atlanta, GA, the Georgetown
Renaissance Portfolio and Cady’s Alley in Washington DC and the Newbury Collection portfolio, located in the
heart of Boston’s historic Back Bay district.

Jamestown is a full service, vertically-integrated real estate operating platform with a multi-disciplinary team
of professionals in acquisitions, capital markets, construction and development, leasing, design, marketing,
property management, asset management, sustainability, risk management, and portfolio management. The
Jamestown team collaborates from acquisition through disposition to maximize opportunities and cultivate a
unique sense of place in the communities in which it works.
With Jamestown’s thoughtful stewardship and plans for revitalization, Boston Design Center at the Innovation
and Design Building is poised to impact global trends and become an unparalleled industry model.
