Tim Logan 2Boston Globe business editor Larry Edelman sent out the following staff hire announcement:

I am excited to announce the newest addition to the Globe’s business department — Tim Logan, who is already digging into the all-important real estate beat.

Tim will focus on commercial development, from the booming South Boston waterfront to city neighborhoods like Dorchester and the suburbs. He will also cover the housing market, so stop by his desk with questions about property values or where there are affordable apartments to rent.

Tim comes to us from The Los Angeles Times, where he covered real estate, including the business and development angles of the NFL’s potential return to L.A.

Before that he spent seven years at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, writing about the economy, urban development, housing and other business beats ranging from defense to casinos to the beer industry. While there he won a Loeb Award for a series on development incentives in St. Louis, and was a finalist for the Livingston Award for Young Journalists.

Tim has worked at the Times Herald-Record in New York’s Hudson Valley and the South Bend Tribune, earned a master’s in urban affairs from St. Louis University and graduated from the University of Notre Dame.

Boston (the city proper) is where Tim grew up, and he says he is glad to be home and is looking forward to autumn after the endless summer of southern California.

Tim is married with two little boys. “When not working,” he says “I’m usually chasing them around.”

Please join me in welcoming Tim home and to the Globe.
