Job Description
Job Description
Description :
Topo brings a unique perspective to real estate drawing from our experiences founding and operating hospitality businesses. We create uncommon spaces where thoughtful design produces meaningful impacts for our tenants, partners, and community – while having fun along the way.
Our fully integrated team finds innovative real estate solutions for businesses seeking dynamic, attainable workspaces. We build relationships with best-in-class partners who share our passion for activating destinations and helping them thrive. We are proud of what we have already accomplished and excited for the opportunities ahead. We look forward to adding a Property Coordinator to contribute to our team.
As the Development Associate, you will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day execution of Topo’s real estate projects — from due diligence through design, entitlement, construction, and delivery. This role requires a detail-oriented, analytical thinker who thrives in problem-solving across disciplines and can navigate the unique challenges of projects in the Austin metro area. The ideal candidate combines strong organizational and technical skills with a collaborative, design-minded approach.
This is a cross functional role that will support key leaders and principals in development, asset management and finance. While this person contributes meaningfully to financial analysis and project underwriting, the firm’s principals and finance team retain ownership of pro forma analysis and capital structuring.
Key Responsibilities
Project Management
- Assist in the management of projects through all stages of development, ensuring alignment with Topo’s design intent, budgets, and schedules.
- Assist in coordination between internal leadership and external teams — architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, and city representatives.
- Support entitlement, permitting, and construction administration processes, tracking critical milestones and regulatory approvals.
- Support in securing the appropriate approvals, certifications, permits, etc. from city and other government agencies as required.
- Assist with reports on project performance, risk items, and progress updates for internal and external stakeholders.
