NEW YORK CITY—FirstService Residential has brought in a pair of apartment management veterans to bolster its expanding rental management division. John MacGowan and Marc Kaplan have joined the firm as managing directors, and will lead the division's growth while providing operational oversight of the company's current rental portfolio in New York City.
