Acadia is seeking a qualified, highly motivated intern to join its Summer Rotational Internship Program, a 10-week experience designed to give a small group of top candidates cross-functional exposure to the full lifecycle of a commercial real estate deal. The rotational intern will spend dedicated time with four core teams: Acquisitions, Asset Management, Development, and Leasing. Interns will gain a comprehensive, end-to-end view of how Acadia sources, underwrites, manages, improves, and leases retail-focused commercial real estate.

Each rotational intern is paired with a dedicated program mentor for the duration of the program, along with a rotation lead within each department, who together provide guidance, feedback, and career development support throughout the summer.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Over 10 weeks, the intern will rotate through departments in approximately 2-3 week increments, working in a fast-paced team environment on live deal and asset-level work.
