What this job involves

As a Senior Project Manager for Capital Projects, you will execute capital improvement projects on behalf of landlords-institutional investor clients and high-net-worth clients deploying capital to create value in their real estate. You'll manage a high volume of concurrent projects spanning multiple product types, including industrial, office, retail, healthcare, and multifamily. Projects range from roof replacements, lobby renovations, and amenity upgrades to dock door replacements, retail build-outs, make-ready spaces, spec suites, white boxes, and demolition projects—essentially any building improvement work performed or proposed by a landlord.

• Construct capital budgets for individual projects and manage delivery against them.
• Assemble and manage project teams—architects, engineers, and general contractors—matched to project scope and local market conditions.

Capital Planning (Advisory)

• Advise property management teams on the development of annual capital plans across properties—this role advises on capital plans rather than building them independently.
• Provide input on prioritization of projects within a client's capital plan.
• Advise clients on repair-versus-replace decisions for building systems and components.

Business Development

• Support growth of investor-client revenue and account penetration within the local market, in coordination with the national Investor Services platform.

• Familiarity with the roles of property management, agency leasing, tenant representation, and capital markets/investment sales across an asset's life cycle.

Preferred qualifications
