Development Manager

Development

A vertically integrated real estate investment company that is committed to integrity, excellence, thinking long-term, and fair dealing. The company is unique due to its three-fold focus on Development, Investments, and Brokerage Services. The firm is guided by five core principles:

• We believe that a person’s work is a reflection of their character and dignity.
• We are known for developing and owning assets at the top end of the quality spectrum. The Newman Standard is widely known and synonymous with quality and trustworthiness.
• There are no limits to what we can achieve if we work together.
• “To whom much is given, much will be required.” We pledge to be good stewards, to work hard, to deal with people fairly, and to be generous.
