Brooklyn, NY | Full Time | On-Site
$150,000–$180,000
Company Overview
We are a vertically integrated real estate development firm focused on building and operating iconic, Class A mixed-use and residential properties across Florida.

This role sits at the center of vision and execution — translating ownership’s strategy into coordinated, build-ready plans.
You will manage architects, engineers, consultants, early budgeting, value engineering, bidding, permitting coordination, and all pre-construction documentation — ensuring a seamless and professional handoff to the construction team.
Florida development experience is a strong plus, particularly familiarity with permitting, consultants, and regulatory environments in that market.
