Development Director

Anchor Health Properties, a national full-service real estate development, management, and investment company, is seeking a Development Director to join their team. The Development Director will be part of a team that supports the Asset Management, Property Management, Development and Acquisition services of Anchor Health Properties and its affiliated entities and clientele.

Anchor Health Properties is a developer, owner and operator of healthcare real estate, operating in several states. Our purpose - pursuing better healthcare through real estate solutions - is what drives us. The corporate culture of Anchor Health Properties is such that every employee is expected to be an ambassador for the company represented as proactive, creative, problem-solving, and outcome-oriented. Our customers are the hospital administrators, physicians, practice managers, tenants, architects, contractors and consultants with whom we develop the real estate that we subsequently hold and manage, as well as the investors with whom we acquire stabilized buildings. Our business is built entirely on those relationships and the repeat project opportunities they generate. Therefore, our expectation is that every Anchor Health Properties employee should view each contact with these customers as an opportunity to build our business and, as such, should look for ways to proactively identify the customer's need and demonstrate active effort to address that need as professionally, quickly and thoroughly as may be possible.

The Development Director is responsible for the day-to-day management of the comprehensive development process required to design and construct new ground-up medical real estate projects and is a main point of contact for our clients during the development process. The activities include assembling and managing a project team that includes architects, construction managers, engineers, attorneys, and other specialists during the entire process from project feasibility study to certificate of occupancy and move-in.

• Assist with Company evaluations and responses to RFPs for new development pursuits.
• Assist in developing CapEx budgets for the company's owned assets.
• Coordinate design and construction activities with Anchor Health Properties Property and Asset Managers.
