RE Development Project Management
Question for those in development..I realize there is no “true” route to development and people come from all different backgrounds but for someone looking to get more into the project side vs the heavy finance what is the best route? Struggling to find roles with actually developers so looking for other ways in to start. APM with a GC? Was thinking on getting a certificate as well just to show something else aside from previous RE finance background.
Something like this role would be my dream role and what I’m referring to:
FWIW, I've witnessed the following transitions into principal side developer PM/DM: former project superintendent (GC); former project engineer (GC); former staff architect; former broker; former political consultant; former city economic development official. Generally speaking, think of what value add you can bring to the entitlement, cost effective design and construction, people management, and financial analysis processes.
