Lendlease Names New Leadership for Chicago, Central U.S.

Lendlease, a global integrated real estate group, has elevated two company executives to lead the firm’s business in Chicago and the Central U.S. Nick Iselin has been named executive general manager, development, Central Region, while Kinjal Patel will serve as executive general manager, construction, Central Region. 

“As one of our primary gateway cities and home to multiple high-value urbanization projects, Chicago is crucial to our growth as a company, and I look forward to leveraging the expertise and guidance of both Nick and Kinjal as we continue to create and deliver sustainable buildings that will enrich the community for generations to come,” said Claire Johnston, CEO, Americas. 

Iselin brings nearly three decades of experience to the role, much of it spent at Lendlease, where he most recently served as executive general manager, Boston development. Patel has been Lendlease for 18 years and has held numerous management positions with escalating responsibilities.
