Our projects are among the most environmentally transformative, socially responsible, and financially sustainable developments seen in the industry today.

• Approximately $1B of mixed-use real estate assets under management
• Approximately $1.5B of development pipeline with land control
• 35+ full time employees in three separate offices (Denver, Pittsburgh, Seattle)

• You are driven by a sense of purpose in your work . You align with Urban Village's mission to build thriving urban neighborhoods that are dense, livable, climate-resilient, and infused with character and soul. To you, asset management is so much more than maximizing valuations, creating sustainable cash-flows, and creating operationally excellent property management. It is about creating extraordinary places.
• You believe that assets are physical places: This might sound obvious, but in our experience the best asset managers understand they're not just managing numbers on a spreadsheet but managing physical spaces infused with life and commerce. While a portfolio of real estate assets can be represented in forward-looking financials, through historical budgets, leases, and reports, you apply a holistic lens to asset management by simultaneously balancing financial optimization with values-driven decision making around environmentalism, branding, tenants, and a sense of place.
• You take the long-view: Managing assets for the long-term requires a different strategy and approach to managing assets in the short-term. You're a long-term thinker, builder, and manager of Urban Villages's assets.
• You're a builder: You're not just satisfied with inheriting and improving existing systems. Instead, you believe in building structures, systems, and processes that create clarity, drive efficiencies, and create the foundations of operational excellence.
• You're an exceptional storyteller: Storyteller might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of asset management or data-driven analytics, but our buildings, their operations, their management, and their future all tell a story. Your job will be to tell compelling stories through financials and reports about how the portfolio is doing, where it's going, and what opportunities exist to make it great.
• You balance proven approaches to asset management with new, innovative approaches: You understand the fundamentals of asset management, so you know the playbook that works to produce exceptional results. But you're also not afraid to upgrade and improve that playbook by considering new approaches and practices.
• You want to grow with a growing company: Urban Villages is at an inflection point of growth, and you're excited to join an organization whose future looks far different from its past. You're willing to roll up your sleeves and be a key leader in transforming the company. You're hungry and ambitious to leave your mark.
