We’re not building a traditional asset manager. We’re building an institution designed to compound capital, intelligence, and distribution over decades.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced and highly organized Development Associate to support real estate development projects across their full lifecycle, from entitlements and design to construction and handoff to property management.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in coordinating with consultants, municipalities, contractors, and internal teams to ensure projects move forward efficiently, stay on schedule, and remain within budget.

This position offers the opportunity to take ownership of day-to-day project coordination, work across different stages of development, and contribute to a growing portfolio of real estate projects.

What You’ll Do

• Support site due diligence, including zoning, surveys, environmental reports, title reviews, and utility availability, while assisting with development budgets, schedules, and pro formas for investment committee and lender presentations.

• Support contractor bidding, buyout, and negotiations while monitoring construction progress, schedules, and budgets through OAC meetings and site visits.

• Review payment applications, change orders, and lender draw packages, maintaining accurate project tracking reports.

• Coordinate project closeout, including punch lists, certificates of occupancy, warranties, and turnover packages (as-builts, O&M manuals, vendor contacts), property management onboarding, post-completion warranty tracking, and documenting lessons learned for future projects.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience coordinating with consultants, contractors, and public officials.

• Proficiency in Excel, Microsoft Office, and project tracking tools, with the ability to read architectural and civil drawings.

Bonus Points For

• Experience with mixed-use or multifamily development projects.
