Job description


High-Rise Residential Development | Toronto (Downtown)
Are you a driven Development Associate looking to take ownership of projects and grow into a Development Manager role over time?

Our client is an established and well-capitalized real estate developer with a strong track record delivering high-rise multi-family rental and condominium communities across the GTA. With a robust pipeline of projects in planning and active development, they are seeking a motivated, hands-on Development Associate to join their downtown Toronto team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants real responsibility, meaningful exposure across the full development lifecycle, and clear progression into a Development Manager position. The Opportunity
Working closely with senior leadership, you will play a key role in advancing development through approvals and planning into construction. You’ll be trusted to take ownership of rezoning, entitlements, and consultant coordination, while supporting the broader execution of multiple developments.
This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and enjoys solving complex urban planning challenges. Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and support rezoning and entitlement processes from initiation through final approvals
  • Manage OPA, ZBA, Site Plan Approval, minor variance, and related municipal processes
  • Coordinate and manage external consultants (planning, architects, civil, traffic, environmental, legal, etc.)
  • Prepare and track development schedules, budgets, and approval milestones
  • Liaise with municipalities, community stakeholders, and agency partners
  • Assist with due diligence, underwriting, and feasibility analysis on new acquisitions
  • Support financing, proformas, and development reporting
  • Collaborate with internal teams across construction, finance, and asset management
  • Proactively identify risks, propose solutions, and drive projects forward


What You Bring
  • 2–5+ years of experience in real estate development or planning (developer, consultancy, or municipal side)
  • Demonstrated experience supporting or leading rezoning/entitlement applications
  • Strong understanding of planning policy, approvals processes, and high-rise development in urban markets
  • Excellent project management and consultant coordination skills
  • Financial literacy and comfort reviewing proformas and development budgets
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and accountable
  • Team-oriented with strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Self-starter mentality with a desire to grow into a Development Manager role
Why Join
  • Direct exposure to senior decision-makers
  • Ownership of real projects, not just support tasks
  • Clear career progression to Development Manager
  • Stable, well-funded development pipeline
  • Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture
  • Prime downtown Toronto office location
If you’re looking to step beyond a support role and truly drive projects forward while building a long-term career in development, we’d love to connect.
