  • (1888PressRelease) October 26, 2010 - BOCA RATON, Fla. - Jamie Telchin, president of development for LXR Luxury Resorts, has been named a board member of the American Cancer Society-South Palm Beach Unit.

    Telchin will also serve as co-chair the organization's First Annual Amorė Gala with Karen Lynne Asher, another ACS board member and owner of Karen Lynne Gallery in Boca Raton. The fundraiser is scheduled for February 19 at Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club.

    Telchin began his tenure at Luxury Resorts in July 2005 as vice president of development. He was promoted to his current position in January 2009. His primary focus has been the development and completion of LXR's signature residential development, One Thousand Ocean. Located on the grounds of the Boca Raton Resort & Club, the highly successful, $200-million, ultra-luxurious condominium reported closings of more than $140 million by the end of September 2010.

    Along with overseeing One Thousand Ocean, Telchin led the entitlements and pre-construction planning for the Boca Raton Resort's Beach Club when the 212-room hotel underwent a $115-million renovation. He also successfully achieved project entitlements for several other luxury condominiums on the grounds of the Resort and is involved in other LXR projects currently in the development process in Florida and Puerto Rico.

    Telchin previously served as development executive for The Greenfield Group, a Boca Raton-based, national development firm, where for nearly seven years he led the leasing, financing, construction and property management of numerous ground-up office building projects throughout Florida.

    Raised in Schenectady, New York, Telchin received his MBA, with an emphasis in entrepreneurship and venture management, from the University of Colorado at Denver. He earned a bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Oswego.

    His professional affiliations include membership in the Urban Land Institute, and he sits on the board of the Jewish Community Center in Boca Raton. The 12-year resident of Boca Raton is married and has three children.
