project types, ranging from permanent supportive housing for the disabled to mixed-income
downtown communities. Our firm has active development across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and

any given time. Some of the specific tasks may include:

should have ability to be a part of a team, communicate effectively in person and in writing,
perform spreadsheet analyses, remain organized, be detail-oriented and meet deadlines, and take
initiative to exemplify motivation.

More important than specific knowledge of these various tasks is the intellect and entrepreneurial
spirit needed to juggle multiple projects and tasks at the same time and manage daily tasks while
thinking ahead. Our firm understands the insularity of the industry and will work to teach
through assignments. Our professional environment ensures an open door policy and encourages
questions and collaboration.
