SUMMARY OF THE ROLE

Your communication style is two legged and team oriented, you are cool and comfortable gathering information from a broader team (Leasing, Construction, and Property Management) as it relates to deals for new or vacant space.

You are hands on and like to get out in front of projects; like visiting sites to ensure you have current information as it relates to pre-construction scope requirements or seeing when your tenants are opening for business. You live in the details, you like master spreadsheets, logs, and tracking mechanisms so you can provide quick responses and keep your communication, tenants, and projects humming along. You value relationships and enjoy connecting with people, finding value in providing clear and consistent communication and administration; paperwork, emails, filing, handbooks, and drawing reviews.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Review and approve tenant drawings and signage for impact to the base building and compliance with the lease and tenant handbook guidelines.
• Provide pre-construction advice to the Leasing team prior to deal generation.
