Job Description
GY Properties seeks an Associate in Acquisitions & Capital Markets to support real estate investment strategies in Philadelphia. Drive deal sourcing, financial modeling, and market analysis to fuel company growth.
Full Description
Join GY Properties as an Associate in Acquisitions & Capital Markets and play a pivotal role in expanding our real estate portfolio. This position is crucial for identifying high-potential investment opportunities, structuring capital raises, and optimizing financial strategies that drive sustainable growth and maximize returns for our stakeholders in the dynamic Philadelphia market.
In this role, you will conduct comprehensive market research to identify acquisition targets, including multifamily, office, and retail properties. Daily tasks involve building detailed financial models using Excel and Argus to evaluate investment viability, performing due diligence on potential deals, and preparing investment memos for senior leadership. Weekly, collaborate with the acquisitions team to source off-market opportunities through broker networks and industry relationships, while tracking key metrics like IRR, NOI, and cap rates. Monthly responsibilities include supporting capital markets activities such as preparing pitch decks for lenders and equity partners, analyzing debt and equity financing options, and contributing to quarterly portfolio performance reports. You will partner closely with legal, asset management, and development teams to ensure seamless transaction execution, and may assist in managing junior analysts by reviewing their work and providing guidance on complex modeling scenarios.
Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Real Estate, Economics, or a related field, with an MBA or CFA certification strongly preferred. We require at least 2-4 years of experience in real estate acquisitions, capital markets, or investment banking within the commercial real estate sector. Proficiency in financial modeling tools like Excel, Argus Enterprise, and CoStar is essential, along with strong knowledge of real estate valuation methods, underwriting, and market analytics. Familiarity with Philadelphia’s real estate landscape, including zoning regulations and economic drivers, is highly valued. Relevant licenses such as a real estate broker license are a plus.
Success demands advanced analytical skills, including mastery of financial modeling and data interpretation, paired with excellent proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and real estate software. Soft skills such as superior communication for presenting to executives and negotiating with partners, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced environments are critical. You should exhibit strong problem-solving abilities, adaptability to market shifts, and a proactive approach to building industry networks.
GY Properties is a leading real estate investment firm based in Philadelphia, dedicated to acquiring, developing, and managing premium properties across the Mid-Atlantic region. Our mission centers on creating value through strategic investments and innovative capital solutions. We foster a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where team members enjoy a supportive work environment with flat hierarchies, regular team-building events, and a focus on work-life balance.
We offer competitive compensation, though salary details are not specified at this time, commensurate with experience. Comprehensive benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) matching, generous PTO, and flexible hybrid work arrangements. Additional perks feature performance-based bonuses, professional development stipends, gym memberships, and opportunities for equity participation in select deals.
