Description
COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Our client is a leading, privately held commercial real estate company that specializes in the development of
multifamily, mixed-use and student housing projects across the United States. Founded in 1999, the firm has
developed over 7 million square feet of improvements representing over $3 billion of asset value. The
company also manages a newly formed equity fund that invests in projects alongside its institutional capital
partners. Our client is headquartered in suburban Philadelphia, with regional offices in Atlanta and Hanover.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
The individual will enhance the Company’s development capacity in the Northeast and Southeast US. This
person will be involved in every stage of the development cycle for market rate multi-family housing and
student housing projects.
The initial procurement stages for multi-family transactions include financial analysis and due diligence of
land acquisitions being considered for development. For on-campus student housing opportunities, initial
procurement often includes responding to RFPs by colleges & universities for the development of needed
residential halls and other auxiliary uses for our client’s long-term ownership and management.
After successful project procurement, this individual’s responsibilities will include refinement of financial
underwriting and managing the development process (e.g., assembling project design/engineering teams,
programming, design coordination, entitlements, construction activities, and working closely with the client’s
asset management team). Projects will typically be ground-up or redevelopment opportunities in urban or
suburban communities of growth.
The position represents a unique opportunity to work closely with company’s Vice President of Development
and leadership to advance a career in real estate. The right candidate will be detailed, process-oriented,
organized, thoughtful, a problem solver, good communicator, collaborator and excited to contribute to the
company’s transformative growth.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Analyze project feasibility based on the goals of the development
- Responsible for day-to-day project management through all phases of development, including procurement, entitlements, design and construction
- Assemble and coordinate the design, engineering & construction teams and attend regular site visits and construction meetings to ensure on-schedule and on-budget delivery
- Assist in proposal writing efforts for on-campus student housing (as needed)
- Participate in financial analysis and structuring of transactions with assistance and supervision of our clients' underwriting team and legal counsel
- Prepare and maintain pre-development & development budgets and construction draws
- Navigate site plan and permitting processes with various public entities (including zoning, land use, traffic, stormwater, and others as required)
