Vice President, Commercial Real Estate Development

You’ll lead ground-up and value-add projects from site control to delivery across CIG’s hospitality and multifamily pipeline. You’ll own entitlements, design and construction oversight, budgets and pro formas, and joint-venture-partner execution in CIG’s key markets.

Here’s where you’ll have the freedom to shape high-value developments with your strategic vision and expertise. You’ll guide projects through every stage, from site selection and acquisition to lease‑up, stabilization, or sale.

Managing entitlements and approvals means building strong relationships with municipalities and consultants, giving you more influence in key markets.

Overseeing design and construction will let you apply your leadership to staging, bidding, buyout, change orders, and draw approvals, ensuring projects meet your standards for quality and efficiency.

Structuring joint‑venture partnerships with capital and operating partners will expand your experience in partner reporting and governance, while coordinating with CRE Capital Markets on construction financing, draws, and permanent take‑out will deepen your financial acumen.

Advancing ESG/sustainability and design standards consistent with the Magnifica brand will position you at the forefront of responsible development, aligning with industry trends and stakeholder expectations.
