Description


Would you like to be a key player on a team responsible for sourcing ground-up construction of unique luxury apartments, multifamily complexes and hospitality developments of distinction and design? If so, you may be just who we’re looking for to join our team as a Director of Development! We are actively identifying and pursuing strategic land opportunities that will enhance our growing national portfolio of new long-term hold development projects.

Dalian Development, LLC was founded in 2012. Dalian currently has assets in San Antonio, TX and Philadelphia, PA totaling over 1,000 units with future pipeline developments in Richmond, VA and Raleigh, NC. Dalian’s business plan is to expand the luxury multifamily residential business across the United States. Dalian has two other sister companies – CloudHQ, LCC and WindHQ, LLC. Our lines of business have thrived over the years because our team is entrepreneurial, thinks creatively, gets outside the box, and demonstrates true leadership.


You might be a good fit if you are:

 

  • Keen in national multifamily markets: Would you enjoy working in a team environment taking projects from predevelopment and financing through construction, lease-up, and turnover to operations? You would lead projects through zoning, master planning, entitlements and site plan approval; lead architects and engineers in site planning and building design; coordinate preconstruction efforts with general contractors; lead the competitive bid process, ultimate selection of a contractor and contract negotiations.

 

  • Analytical and great at building relationships: Can you identify target markets? This role is a pivotal part of ensuring that we establish and maintain key relationships across real estate trades (brokers, architects, engineers, general contractors, lawyers, investment sales) that will facilitate pipelines of multifamily project opportunities in new markets. You will identify and negotiate unique opportunities with landowners (utilizing our risk-profile as a competitive advantage) that will provide above-market returns in the submarket.

 

  • Curious and have business acumen: In this role, you will have exposure to challenging assignments.  You will work with our finance team to obtain construction and long-term financing (experience with 221(d)4 loans is a plus). You will lead projects through approval processes with local jurisdictions and public planning departments. You will manage budgets, milestones and draws through the life of the project as well as negotiate contracts across multiple real estate trades. Knowledge of financial modeling strongly preferred.

 

  • Driven to achieve your goals, yet flexible: We expect all Dalian team members to be highly motivated to work in an environment that values innovation and understands that the nature of our business sometimes leads to changes in priorities.

 

  • Can meet these basic qualifications & attributes:
    • 5+ years of residential development experience
    • a BA in a related field or an MBA, preferred
    • strong negotiating skills
    • experience with MS Office, Argus or similar software, preferred
    • ability to multi-task and be self-motivated.

This position is based in our DC headquarters, just a short walk from the Metro Center station.


Sound like you? Then let’s chat more! We’ll be happy to tell you more about our culture, values and, such as: 401(k), annual bonus, 11 paid holidays plus four weeks of paid time off and a casual and collaborative environment.
