VP of Development - Luxury Real Estate

velop · Miami, FL, USA ·

Job type:
Contract

VP of Development | Premier Miami-Based Developer | Confidential Search

A confidential search on behalf of one of South Florida's most recognised real estate development. The business designs, builds, owns, and operates its properties across the full project lifecycle, with a portfolio spanning luxury residential, hospitality, F&B, and entertainment. This is no one-trick pony.

The role

You will work directly alongside the Head of Development across a live pipeline of 12+ active projects. This is a hands-on execution role covering ground-up development, major capital programmes, and complex repositioning across multiple asset classes simultaneously. You will be the Executive's right hand on projects ranging from a high-end condominium developed in partnership with a major institutional partner, major waterfront property and infrastructure, two ground-up hotels, and a full country club and golf course rebrand and rebuild.

Day to day this means managing relationships with GCs and sub-contractors from the owner's side, driving entitlements, keeping budgets honest, and moving projects forward in parallel without dropping threads. The business has an in-house construction capability as well as established external contractor relationships.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in institutional real estate development, from a recognised developer or developer-operator
  • Background that leans towards architecture or construction before development is a plus, though finance backgrounds will be considered
  • Fluent in development budgets and capital structures; doesn't need to be an underwriter but needs to understand the logic
  • Entitlements experience is important
  • Strong project management discipline with the ability to run across multiple projects and asset classes at once

Location

Miami, Florida. In-office with the team.

Seniority

Director, AVP or VP depending on experience. Title will reflect the candidate.

The opportunity

This is a rare chance to sit inside one of South Florida's most active and diverse development programmes, reporting to a highly regarded leader with a background spanning architecture, institutional development, and complex, luxury residential and hospitality execution.
