Real Estate Development Comp by Shop

I am interested in hearing opinions of everyone on whether or not these large shops, like Hines, Related, Brookfield, Tishman, Rockefeller, Crescent, Mill Creek, Ect. have roles that you are involved in acquisitions and development? I am at a medium size family office pulling about 90k all in after bonus and get exposure to acquisition and development. Any insight on how these shops comp their associates?

Typically base plus 20-30% guaranteed bonus, and potentially special bonuses after completig projects, and equity in deal. For associates at H/T/R, you’d be looking at $110-120k base with the bonus noted above.

I worked for one of the larger shops doing acquisitions/development (Hines/SL Green/TCR/Brookfield). Entry-level comp was $100K + 30%-40% bonus, pretty similar to colleagues in similar roles. No carry until VP level. Brand/exposure was great, but hours were long and culture was pretty brutal (par for the course for development in New York).
