REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT MANAGER – GROUP REAL ESTATE

WHY WE LOVE YOU
Simply because you have the passion for developing the real estate business. You have experience in working with site acquisition and Asset management. Although we still prioritize ownership, to foster speed and accessibility we have opened possibilities to lease sites as well. We have also shifted from empty plots outside the city to existing building within the city. We want you to have experience from site search briefs and due diligence checks (for property) to permitting and management of obligations. We also believe that working together is important for you since you need to partner up with other stakeholders, both internal and externals. Finding solutions together with others is something you love doing. You need to understand the stakeholder landscape and be able to navigate it. Since our real estate business is done in all our markets you need international experience.
