Job Description

Position Overview :

EYA, a premier developer of large-scale walkable, townhouse, multifamily, and mixed-use communities in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area, is seeking a highly motivated and entrepreneurial Director of Acquisitions  to join our growing team. This critical role will expand EYA’s pipeline by focusing on two high-value areas :

Northern Virginia development and redevelopment acquisitions  — sourcing sites in Fairfax County, Arlington, Alexandria, City of Falls Church, City of Fairfax, and Loudoun County; navigating zoning and entitlement pathways; and leveraging deep local broker, land use attorney, land owner, municipal and related relationships to secure off market transactions.

Commercial-to-residential acquisitions  — proactively identifying and underwriting office and commercial properties suitable for redevelopment, through networks with institutional owners, debt holders, brokers, and special servicers.

The ideal candidate will bring expertise in one, if not both, of these areas with the versatility and drive to grow fully into both. This hire will work directly with EYA’s leadership, including the Chief Acquisitions Officer, to advance deals from identification through execution.
