    • Documentation & Reporting: Prepare clear summaries of findings and recommendations for leadership review.
    • Final Presentation: Deliver a comprehensive presentation to senior stakeholders outlining research, analysis, and strategic recommendations.

    • Currently pursuing a degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, Urban Planning, or related field.
    • Strong analytical and research skills with attention to detail.

    • Vision abilities to include close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision and the ability to adjust focus.
    • The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate.
    • Temperature in the workplace is typically moderate, though the ability to withstand seasonal cold and heat of the outdoors is necessary.

    • Travel up to 25% of the time.
