- Building business cases and development strategies that maximize ROI while balancing long-term placemaking.
- Coordinating with urban planners, architects, legal, and finance teams to steer projects through approval and execution stages.
- Creating partnerships with public and private stakeholders to accelerate development timelines and enhance asset value.
Must Have:
- 15+ years of experience in real estate development, preferably with exposure to large-scale masterplans, land banking, or asset consolidation.
- Proven track record in conceptualizing and executing development strategies that span mixed-use, commercial, or residential projects.
- Strong understanding of zoning laws, planning regulations, and valuation dynamics.
- High comfort level with financial modelling, due diligence, and investment analysis.
- Experience managing complex stakeholder environments — across government, investment, and technical teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Urban Planning, Finance, Architecture, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
