Development Manager

Your Team
Reporting into our Sr. Development Director, a Carolina Planing alumni, we are seeking a talented Development Manager to join our Development team in San Francisco. We are focused on creating opportunities for our team members to grow and develop from within.

The chosen candidate will be a valuable team member in the Pier 70 project, which is currently under construction. Please note this is for the horizontal portion of the Pier 70 project and will not directly be working on vertical development or building teams.

Pier 70 is a former shipyard on San Francisco’s southeastern waterfront. Pier 70 represents the opportunity to transform a dilapidated former manufacturing facility into a premier waterfront district adjacent to the burgeoning Dogpatch neighborhood and, just south of UCSF’s Mission Bay campus and the new Chase Arena. The 28-acre mixed use development will contain for-sale, rental, and affordable housing, new creative and/or life sciences office space, arts, maker, and creative spaces, housing across a spectrum of affordability, local manufacturing and local retail, and the creation of new waterfront parks. The project will be built over three phases, with Phase 1 under construction and Phase 2 anticipated to start in 2020.

This is a great opportunity to join a unique real estate development company working on transformative projects with a talented and inspired local San Francisco team. The role provides exposure to a variety of aspects of the development process and project. We are looking for someone to join our office that brings a positive attitude and good sense of humor, enjoys collaborating as part of a team, learns quickly, takes initiative, proactively tackles new challenges and is willing to pitch in where needed. Ability to effectively communicate with a variety of stakeholders, officials, consultants and community groups is imperative.
