Tyler Kelsey and Priscilla Paredes
By Joshua Burd
Atkins Cos. and Denholtz have hired Tyler Kelsey as operations manager and Priscilla Paredes as a property accountant at a 490,000-square-foot office building in Westchester County.
According to the firms, the new additions bolster the on-site teams at the 59-acre Medical Offices at Chappaqua Crossing in Chappaqua, New York. And they come amid Atkins and Denholtz’s plan to reposition the former Reader’s Digest global headquarters at 480 North Bedford Road, which they acquired in 2023.
Kelsey brings nearly 15 years of property management experience to his role and will oversee property leasing, tenant relations, building and grounds maintenance, strategic planning and capital project management, according to a news release. He joins Atkins from EMCOR Facilities Services, where he managed a 28-acre manufacturing and office campus in Wilton, Connecticut, with a strong background in budgeting, financial reporting and forecasting, building systems and operations, lease and contract negotiations, analytics, process improvement and team development.
Paredes, meantime, comes with more than 20 years of experience in financial accounting, tenant expense recovery and expertise in Timberline and Yardi software, the news release said. Her responsibilities include managing financial records, preparing detailed monthly statements and partnering with property managers to evaluate financial performance.
Atkins noted that Paredes reports directly to the firm’s chief financial officer and oversees key financial functions such as accounts payable and receivable, cash flow management, tenant receipt applications and the preparation of annual budgets. She is a former general manager at Greystar Property Management.
“Our success is rooted in a steadfast commitment to operational excellence and exceptional property management,” said Bob Atkins, a principal at Atkins Cos. “Tyler and Priscilla will build on this proud legacy, ensuring that the Medical Offices at Chappaqua Crossing remains a vital cornerstone of the regional health care delivery network.”
Currently anchored by Northwell Health’s Northern Westchester Hospital, the Medical Offices at Chappaqua Crossing is an important piece of the region’s health care delivery network.
