Investment Focus

• Conduct hold/sell analysis to support portfolio performance decisions.
• Prepare operating information for dispositions.
• Assist with annual operating reporting for the industrial and multifamily portfolios.
• Work closely with Operations, Capital Markets, Due Diligence, Accounting, Construction, Portfolio, and Leasing teams.
• Participate across the acquisition lifecycle, including model maintenance, investment committee materials, expense and capital analysis, comparable data gathering, market research, and debt and leasing assumption inputs.

Requirements
