Real Estate Development Associate Jobs in Ontario

DMC Recruitment Group is pleased to partner with our client, a respected organization in the real estate development industry, located in Toronto, Ontario, in the search for a Real Estate Development Analyst.
With more than 35 years of building experience across the Greater Toronto Area, our client has established itself as one of the region's most trusted developers of condominium, multi-family, mixed-use, and commercial properties. Their portfolio spans thousands of completed homes and an active pipeline that continues to grow in scale and ambition, including transit-oriented developments, purpose-built rental projects, and landmark condominium communities across Southern Ontario.
This is a team that takes craftsmanship seriously. From site selection through to construction and occupancy, every stage of development is managed with precision, integrity, and long-term thinking. The organization has earned a reputation for doing things the right way and they are looking for people who share that standard.
As the organization grows and its development pipeline expands, there is a clear need for a capable and analytically minded Real Estate Development Analyst to join the team in a full-time, in-office role at their Toronto headquarters.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Reporting directly to senior members of the development team, the Real Estate Development Analyst will play a meaningful role in shaping how the organization evaluates, structures, and advances new opportunities. This is a hands-on position with genuine visibility across the business. You will not be on the periphery of projects; you will be embedded in them.
On any given day, you might be building financial models to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed condominium project, preparing materials for a joint venture presentation, or conducting market research to support a site acquisition decision. You will work closely with internal teams across development, finance, and construction, as well as with external partners including lenders, consultants, brokers, and municipal stakeholders.
Key areas of focus will include:

• Developing and maintaining financial models for active development projects, acquisitions, and new opportunities across the portfolio
• Conducting detailed market research and feasibility analysis to evaluate land, density, product mix, and project economics
• Preparing investment summaries, presentations, and reports for senior leadership and external partners
• Tracking and analyzing comparable sales, market trends, and competitive positioning across target submarkets
• Supporting the due diligence process for new acquisitions, including zoning reviews, development potential analysis, and financial underwriting
• Assisting with the preparation of financing submissions, including CMHC, construction lending, and equity materials
• Monitoring project budgets, proformas, and performance metrics throughout the development lifecycle
• Contributing to the preparation of development applications, RFPs, and partnership presentations as required

This role suits someone who is motivated by detail and drawn to complexity. You thrive in an environment where the work is substantive, the pace is steady, and your contributions have a direct bearing on real decisions.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
The ideal candidate will bring a solid foundation in real estate finance or development, combined with strong analytical skills and a genuine interest in the built environment. You are someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly, and brings a high degree of accuracy and professionalism to everything you do.

• A degree in Real Estate, Finance, Urban Planning, Business, or a related discipline
• Two to five years of experience in real estate development, acquisitions, investment, or a related advisory role
• Strong proficiency in financial modelling, with experience building and stress-testing real estate proformas from the ground up
• Solid working knowledge of the GTA real estate market, including residential, condominium, and purpose-built rental sectors
• Familiarity with development approvals, zoning processes, and the regulatory environment in Ontario is a strong asset
• Experience preparing investment materials, presentations, and written reports for senior stakeholders
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with Argus or similar platforms is considered an asset
• A detail-oriented and organized approach to work, with the ability to manage multiple priorities under deadline
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear and actionable insights
• A collaborative mindset and the professionalism to represent the organization well with external partners and consultants

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
Toronto's development landscape is evolving quickly, and this organization is positioned well within it. With an active and growing pipeline that spans condominium, rental, mixed-use, and commercial projects, there is no shortage of interesting work or meaningful problems to solve. The team is experienced, professional, and committed to doing the job well.
As a mid-sized developer with over three decades of history in the market, the organization offers something that larger institutional players often cannot: proximity to decision-making. In this role, you will have regular exposure to senior leadership and direct involvement in projects that matter to the business. Your analysis will be read, discussed, and acted upon.
For someone early-to-mid career who wants to deepen their expertise in real estate development, build a well-rounded understanding of the full project lifecycle, and work alongside experienced professionals in a stable and respected organization, this is an outstanding opportunity to do exactly that.
