Job Description

Macdonald & Company is pleased to be exclusively retained by a privately held industrial developer in Houston to find and appoint a VP of Investment / Development focused on sourcing and executing industrial ground up development.

Great growth opportunity to join a lean team of high performing, best in class developers in Houston, who have a significant track record and have capabilities to develop through their own capital sources or look at JV opportunities.

Key Responsibilities :

Strategic Planning & Acquisition

  • Identify and evaluate land for potential speculative and build-to-suit industrial development in key Houston submarkets.
  • Lead site due diligence, market research, financial feasibility analysis, and risk assessment for potential acquisitions.
  • Work closely with capital partners, joint-venture partners, and internal leadership on acquisition strategies.

Entitlement & Approvals

  • Manage the entitlement process, zoning, permitting, and regulatory approvals.
  • Coordinate with architects, civil engineers, and consultants to prepare site plans, environmental studies, and other permitting documentation.
  • Build strong relationships with municipal governments, local authorities, and community stakeholders.
  • Financial Modeling & Projections

  • Build and maintain sophisticated financial models (pro forma, cash flow, IRR, sensitivity) for project-level and portfolio-level decisions.
  • Lead underwriting for new projects, negotiating land purchase terms, and assessing capital structure.
  • Present development business plans to senior leadership and potential equity / debt partners.
  • Pre-Construction & Design Coordination

  • Oversee schematic design with architecture and engineering teams.
  • Coordinate design aspects (site plans, building layouts, parking, utilities) to optimize cost, schedule, and tenant needs.
  • Work with construction leadership (contractors, project managers) to ensure alignment between design intent and buildability.
  • Team Leadership & Stakeholder Management

  • Lead a small team (analysts, development associates) and mentor them through the front-end process.
  • Collaborate with leasing, asset management, capital markets, and construction teams.
  • Report to senior management (Managing Principal, Board) on project status, risks, milestones, and budget.
  • Market & Competitive Intelligence

  • Monitor industrial real estate trends in Houston (speculative demand, build-to-suit, land scarcity, user types).
  • Use insights to inform site selection, project sizing, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Represent Company externally at industry events, with brokers, landowners, public agencies, and joint-venture partners.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Finance, Business, Civil Engineering, or related field; MBA strongly preferred.
  • 7+ years of industrial real estate development experience, with deep exposure to the front-end (land acquisition, entitlement, pre-construction).
  • Success in bringing speculative and / or build-to-suit industrial projects from concept to shovel-ready.
  • Strong financial modeling, underwriting, and project feasibility analysis; experience with pro formas, IRR, and sensitivities.
  • Excellent interpersonal, negotiation, and team leadership skills; ability to present to and influence senior executives, partners, and public officials.
  • Deep understanding of the Houston industrial real estate market (submarkets, infrastructure, zoning, logistics).
  • Comfort managing multiple deals simultaneously, with ability to lead cross-functional teams.
  • Entrepreneurial orientation, ability to think long-term and balance risk-reward in land development.
