A life has many ups and downs, and the life of Jim Keledjian, father of Alex, is no exception. His story of rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches through the worlds of city planning and real estate investment is full of timeless gems of universal wisdom, including how to recognize opportunity in even some of the most obscure places.
Jim Keledjian formed the privately held development firm, Associated Ventures LLC, which was involved with the development and management of affordable senior housing. In the late 1990’s, the principals of Associated Ventures and Quality Care Nursing Home formed Pathway Senior Living, LLC. He began his real estate career as an Acquisitions Director with Multi-Vest, Inc., in Southfield, Michigan and was later appointed Regional Vice President of the Robert A. McNeil Corporation responsible for the Chicago office. As Regional Vice President, he was responsible for purchasing income properties throughout the Midwest. Later, he also served as Executive Vice President of Van Kampen, Morris & Stone (VMS) and was responsible for supervising the acquisition program for the entire United States. He is active with the Tax Credit Subcommittee of the National Association of Home Builders and is a Director of the Illinois Housing Council, the Michigan Housing Council, and the Illinois Affordable Assisted Living Coalition. In addition he is a member of the Urban Development Fund, a new market tax credit entity that has received over $133,000,000 in credits from the US Treasury Department and is head of their Investment Committee and a member of the Advisory Board. Recently, Mr. Keledjian was appointed to the Wisconsin Tax Credit Allocation Committee as a Developer Representative.
