The Opportunity Over eight weeks, you'll work on live deals alongside our Development, Acquisitions, and Asset Management teams, gaining hands-on exposure to the full real estate lifecycle, from identifying a site and underwriting the opportunity to seeing how a stabilized property actually performs. You'll leave with real technical skills, a deep understanding of at least one market, and work product you can talk about in any future interview.
