Job description

We make good investments in our people, properties, tenants, and company.

Preferred Experience: Project-Based Section 8, LAHD programs, HUD compliance, and affordable housing property management experience.

CCI is a nationwide full-service real estate platform focused on acquisition, asset management, property management and development. Our current property portfolio consists of around 8,000 apartments and townhomes, with a focus on providing affordable housing for seniors and persons with disabilities. We also own and manage a diverse and growing portfolio of other real estate assets covering traditional multifamily rentals, office and light industrial uses. CCI employs around 400 Teammates in 30 states across the country – and we’re growing!

As we enter the next phase of our company’s growth, we’re looking for Teammates who can help us optimize our existing management platform (systems, tools and processes), better leverage technology, and maintain our reputation for excellence. We are looking for ambitious self-starters who aren’t afraid to dig in. We value excellent communication and collaboration, and we reward those who challenge the status quo to find better ways of doing things. We believe that people learn best by doing – so although we offer a full range of classroom learning and structured training paths, we prioritize hands on experience and self-directed development.

Our commitment to equal opportunity extends to all applicants and CCI Teammates, regardless of national origin, race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other class protected by the laws in the states where we operate.
