Development Manager the Opportunity

Our client is a growing, vertically integrated real estate organization focused on developing and operating high-quality purpose-built rental communities across Ontario.

With development, construction, and property operations working closely together, the organization takes a long-term approach to its assets. Projects are evaluated not only on design and financial performance, but also on constructability, durability, resident experience, and operational efficiency.

Our client is seeking a hands‑on Development Manager to oversee a small portfolio of active multifamily projects through planning, design, municipal approvals, construction, and turnover to property management.

This is an execution-focused position for someone who enjoys working directly with consultants, resolving design and coordination issues, maintaining control of budgets and schedules, and moving projects decisively toward completion.

Development Manager Key Responsibilities

Development and Project Leadership

• Manage approximately two concurrent purpose-built rental developments through the various stages of the development lifecycle.
• Establish project priorities, deliverables, schedules, budgets, and reporting requirements.
• Drive projects from early due diligence and entitlement through detailed design, permitting, construction, and operational turnover.
• Maintain visibility into project performance and ensure key decisions are made in a timely manner.
• Identify risks affecting approvals, costs, design, or schedule and present practical mitigation strategies to senior leadership.

Planning and Municipal Approvals

• Coordinate rezoning, Official Plan Amendment, site plan, and building-permit processes, as applicable.
