Known for the quality of its assets and its entrepreneurial approach, the company develops and manages a diversified portfolio that includes large-scale residential projects, as well as mixed-use, industrial, hotel, and commercial properties.

To support its growth, the company is looking to add a Director of Legal Affairs.
