Surfside Crossing: The Developers

Jamie Feeley, Nantucket

Jamie Feeley

Local builder, contractor, and development partner
 

Jamie Feeley is a Nantucket-based builder and project manager with more than two decades of experience working on the island.

 

His background is rooted in construction and execution — overseeing projects from planning through completion, often in complex or high-visibility environments.

 

His work has included:

  • Renovation of the The Nantucket Hotel & Resort

  • Construction work at the Great Harbor Yacht Club

  • Owner’s representative for the Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund geotube project

  • Contractor for Phase II of Beach Plum Village

  • Development and construction roles at 57–59 Washington Street and 106 Surfside Road

 

His experience is primarily local — navigating Nantucket’s permitting process, infrastructure constraints, and construction realities.

​

Within Surfside Crossing, Feeley represents the on-island perspective:

  • site familiarity

  • project execution

  • and the practical side of building at scale on Nantucket

Josh Posner

Affordable housing developer with 40B experience
 

Josh Posner is a Massachusetts-based developer with roughly 40 years of experience in affordable and mixed-income housing, primarily in the Boston area.

​

His work has focused on projects developed under Massachusetts Chapter 40B, the state law that allows affordable housing developments to move forward even when they do not conform to local zoning.

​

That experience includes:

  • structuring projects to meet state affordability requirements

  • navigating the Housing Appeals Committee process

  • advancing developments through local denial, appeal, and redesign

  • ​

Posner was also involved in the development of Beach Plum Village, a 100% affordable housing project on Nantucket.
 

Within Surfside Crossing, Posner represents the development and legal framework:

  • project structuring under 40B

  • financing and feasibility

  • and the regulatory pathway that has allowed the project to continue​

A Combined Model

​

Surfside Crossing reflects a specific kind of partnership:

  • A local builder with on-the-ground experience

  • A regional developer with deep knowledge of housing law

​

Together, that model:

  • aligns construction with legal strategy

  • connects local execution with state-level approval processes

  • and creates a project designed to move through both systems

​

This type of partnership is not unusual for Chapter 40B developments.

Projects often require:

  • local knowledge to identify viable sites and manage construction

  • and specialized experience to navigate state housing law and appeals
    ​

Surfside Crossing is an example of that structure at work — one that has shaped both the project itself and the path it has taken.
