Hoffman United and Blue Group Properties are excited to welcome two key additions to the team who will play a vital role in supporting the organization’s continued growth, operational excellence, and long-term strategic vision.
Nick Cianci Enhances Investor Relations
Nick Cianci joins the team as a strategic asset to our growth and investor relations platform, bringing a proven track record in stakeholder engagement and high-level communications. In his previous role at the Hamot Health Foundation, Nick led major donor relationship management and development initiatives, helping to drive meaningful philanthropic investment. His ability to build trust, communicate with clarity, and foster long-term partnerships will be instrumental as Blue Group Properties continues to expand its investor base and deliver exceptional transparency and engagement across all projects and relationships.
Dave Bowers Brings Expertise to Maintenance Operations
Dave Bowers joins the organization as a key addition to our team, bringing deep expertise in facilities operations and HVAC management. Most recently, he played a pivotal role in expanding the HVAC division at C. Carlin Plumbing Inc., where he led strategic initiatives that significantly improved efficiency, reliability, and revenue growth. Dave’s technical proficiency, operational insight, and hands-on leadership will be critical in elevating Hoffman United and Blue Group Properties’ maintenance and construction platform—ensuring we continue to deliver best-in-class service across our residential and commercial portfolios.
Paul Hoffman, President of Hoffman United and Manager of Blue Group Properties, states, “From the beginning, we have focused on building a team that shares our dedication to excellence and drives our vision forward. As we approach 1 million square feet of real estate under management across seven states—and continue to see strong momentum in both capital inflows and leasing activity—we are executing a long-term strategic plan centered on disciplined expansion, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. Dave and Nick’s expertise and professionalism will be instrumental in helping us scale efficiently and sustain this trajectory of growth.”
