Hire Real Estate Development Managers with delivered pro-forma discipline, market underwriting, and deal-structuring fluency. Argus + Excel modeling, tenant / broker relationships, and lender interface referenced — not construction PMs re-titled.

Example candidateA structured process for the hire that sits at the front end of the deal — where the wrong RE Dev Manager misprices a site, misunderwrites a market, or fumbles the lender interface.
30-minute call. Align on asset class, deal size, market focus, capital-partner structure, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 RE Development Managers with delivered pro-forma discipline and deal-structuring history. References from prior CDOs, capital partners, and brokers included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
RE Development Managers own the underwriting and deal-structuring seat. Pro-forma discipline, market underwriting, and deal-structuring fluency separate a RE Dev Manager who protects yield-on-cost from one who becomes the reason a deal blows through underwriting at CO.
Every RE Development Manager on the shortlist has verified pro-forma modeling and market-underwriting discipline. Argus + Excel modeling, sensitivity analysis, IRR / yield discipline.
Reference-verified deal-structuring: JV, mezz, equity-preferred returns, promote structures. Referenced from prior capital partners.
Verified relationship discipline with institutional tenants, brokers, and lenders across markets.
Every candidate is credential-verified, capital-partner-referenced, and matched to your asset class. Anonymized examples below reflect real placement profiles.

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer.
Development Manager owns the ground-up delivery lifecycle — entitlement to CO. Real Estate Development Manager owns the underwriting, pro-forma, and deal-structuring side. Some platforms need both, some combine them.
Common but not required. Pro-forma discipline, market underwriting, and deal-structuring fluency are the required criteria. MBA is common shorthand for the training but not gatekeeping.
