Role: Investment Associate
Type: Developer
Location: Toronto
AUM: n/a
YOE: 2.5
Hours: 40-50
Salary: $120k
Bonus: 15%
AUM is tough to gauge given the firm is relatively new. We own a ton of high-value land w/o leverage, so the market value of that is maybe $750M - $1B.
Role: Analyst, Investments
Type: Pension
Location: Toronto
YOE: 1.5
Hours: 50-60
Salary: $85K
Bonus: 20-25%
Wondering if pensions who have real estate investment teams under their pension umbrella (OTPP, HOOPP) pay the same as their other investments team (PE, Infra). Seems like the pensions who have RE arms (Oxford, QuadReal) aren't quite paying up relative to the parent companies (OMERS, BCI respectively). Does anyone have further insight on this?
Interviewed at OTPP’s RE team recently, they pay on par with other investment teams now since they brought CF in-house. Not sure about others
so in the 150-170k range? that's what OTPP pays their investment analysts
Which pension?
One of the Maple 8s
At CDPQ and I know pay is not the same between PE/infra/public and real estate.
What's the pay in PE/infra/public and RE?
Role: Analyst
Type: Private Lender
Location: East Coast
AUM: >1Bn
YOE: 1
Hours: 40-50
Salary: $90k
Bonus: 20% Cash + sign on and LTIP
East Coast, so Halifax? That is WILD compensation for a first year analyst, that's high even for Toronto, you hit the jackpot considering there are barely any CRE jobs east of Montreal.
Tons of brokerage opps for those looking. just reach out.
Aside from the sign on and LTIP, comp of 90k + 20% isn't wild at all, any good shop (pensions, banks CB arms) pay in that range or better.
Yeah if your first analyst gig is for some no name firm that no one knows outside of Canada CRE, you're gonna get paid less. But the competitive new grads with good internships shouldn't have problems getting offers in this range.
Pay is there, just gotta know where to shop.
Im in the same space would you mind reaching out?
East coast based CRE associate here, would you mind reaching out I’d love to compare notes.

Curious to know what senior analysts on the lending/debt side make as I've heard equitable bank recently offered 95k. Do you think 90-95k is pretty standard as a senior? Is 30% bonus prob the max you'd get as well? i'm getting headhunted by MCAP/CMLS/Cameron Stephens for reference
i'd say 95k is standard for sr analyst but depends on the shop. for the bonus, 30% is definitely on the higher end for a senior analyst but if they routinely hit their targets, then i can see them offering 90k with that bonus.
for reference in AM, SA roles are around 95k with 10-15% bonus
How much more do you think Kingsett would pay as an Analyst/Associate under their multifamily mortgages/mortgage investment group?
what are the prominent headhunters for RE debt and RE investments/acquisitions?
Depends where you are but for Toronto / GTA I would say KornFerry, Thorek Scott and Partners, and Vlaad and Company to name a few
Senior analyst at my debt shop was getting paid $95,000 + 50% bonus.

Director - 175K 20% Bonus
Small developer / family office
Question:
Currently working for a small developer at the director level after being laid off last year from a prestigious US REPE firm (Associate). I've been here a few months and its not obviously as institutional. Will it be possible to transition back into the institutional investment level roles? Will they consider my current experience? (currently hiding) given the tough market conditions.

What does your day to day look like? Are you purely AM or also investments? I ask because I've seen some AM salaries on the lower end (ie Starlight/Realstar) vs Developers that appear to be paying more.
My day to day is heavily AM focused with some interactions with development and investments. I actually think I'm underpaid considering I work similar or longer hours as development team (50% bonus).
Any ballpark #s for Starlight/Realstar?
