Goldrich Kest Taps Industry Veteran for Top Executive Role
Richard A. Hawthorne was appointed managing director of development and construction for Goldrich Kest. He joins from Aimco and brings nearly two decades of field experience to the Los Angeles-based firm.
Hawthorne will collaborate with construction, facilities, operations, asset management, property management, accounting and development teams. He will oversee budgeting, cost control, construction design and quality control as well as the architectural and engineering consultants on Goldrich Kest projects.
He served at Aimco for 17 years, most recently as SVP in Irvine. Hawthorne was responsible for the development, construction and asset management teams associated with Aimco’s $5.2-billion multifamily and MXU residential apartment portfolio including the Villas at Park La Brea in Los Angeles, Broadway Lofts in San Diego and Hyde Park Tower in Chicago.
Goldrich Kest’s Mike Drandell says, “In addition to his industry credentials, his service to this country as a military veteran is an especially impressive achievement that make him a welcome addition to our team.”
