Hi N***, Great,March 5th at 2:00 PM ET is locked in. Here’s a quick look at M***l and the Director of Real Estate Development & Investment role we’ll discuss: Company & Culture • M***l is a dynamic NYC,based real estate development and investment firm focused on value-add multifamily and mixed-use projects with an emphasis on sustainable urban revitalization. We combine deep local market expertise with an entrepreneurial, hands-on approach. Role Highlights 1. Lead end-to-end multifamily and commercial property deals in NYC,from sourcing and underwriting through acquisition, renovation, and disposition. 2. Perform in-depth market analysis and financial modeling to set competitive pricing and maximize ROI,your decades of pricing, mortgage, and market-condition expertise will be key. 3. Oversee project planning, budgeting, contractor selection, and permit/regulatory compliance. We know NYC permitting can be a headache, so we’ve built an in-house expediting team and use real-time budget-tracking tools to keep costs on target. 4. Cultivate strong relationships with brokers, lenders, municipal agencies, and community stakeholders to drive consistent deal flow. 5. Mentor a small team of analysts and associates,shape best practices, foster collaboration, and help build a high-performing group. Why It Matters & Growth Opportunities • You’ll sit at the heart of our strategic decision-making, defining processes that directly impact returns and community revitalization. • As M***l scales, this role offers clear paths into senior leadership,whether overseeing larger portfolios or expanding into new asset classes. • You’ll have robust support: advanced financial and project-management software, dedicated permitting and procurement partners, and a competitive compensation package with bonus and equity upside. Let me know if there’s any part you’d like me to expand on during our call. Otherwise, I look forward to diving in on Tuesday at 2 PM ET! Best, J*** HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi N***, Great questions,happy to dive in: 1. Team structure & reporting You’ll report directly to our Vice President of Development. Day-to-day, you’ll have a lean team of two financial analysts and one development associate who you’ll mentor and guide. We also partner closely with our project coordinators and external consultants as needed. 2. In-house expediting approach Our expediting team consists of dedicated permit specialists who kick off pre-application meetings with DOB, DOT and other agencies. They use a staged-submission strategy, maintain a live tracking dashboard for each project, and hold weekly internal huddles to flag and escalate delays. This proactive, relationship-driven process typically trims weeks off approval timelines. 3. Biggest current challenge Right now, the toughest hurdle is finding off-market, value-add multifamily deals that hit our return thresholds in NYC’s fiercely competitive landscape,while keeping renovation budgets on track amid ongoing material price volatility and permit uncertainty. We’re looking for someone with your depth of local expertise to help turn these challenges into wins. Let me know if you’d like any more detail before our call. Looking forward to our conversation on Tuesday! Best, J*** HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi N***, Great questions,happy to give you a bit more detail ahead of our call: 1. Permit-expediting KPIs & dashboards • Average turnaround days by agency (DOB, DOT, DEP, LPC) • Submission-to-issuance cycle time • Agency response rate (percent of RFIs answered within SLA) • Number of active vs. pending applications • Time in review vs. time in revision • Weekly red-flag incidents escalated • Overall approval success rate on first submission Our live dashboard breaks each project into those stages, color-codes upcoming deadlines, and flags any outliers so the team can proactively follow up with agency contacts. 2. Off-market sourcing channels & broker networks • We partner with 4,5 boutique NYC brokers who specialize in off-market multifamily and mixed-use deals,these firms consistently surface value-add properties before they hit public listing services. • Our in-house research team uses proprietary data analytics to identify under-the-radar landlords based on ownership records, lease expirations, and building performance. • We also tap into industry networks (local real-estate forums, alumni connections from major development firms) and direct owner outreach,roughly 35% of our best returns have come from those owner-direct conversations. Happy to walk through a sample dashboard and dive deeper into our sourcing playbook on Tuesday at 2 PM ET. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like beforehand! Best, J*** HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Western Queens We keep those partnerships active by: • Hosting quarterly deal-pipeline roundtables (we share proprietary market snapshots) • Co-sponsoring site-visit events and lunch-and-learns • Offering success-based referral fees and first-look carve-outs on select projects Let me know once you’ve had a chance to review the dashboard, and I’m happy to walk through any of the data live during our call,or dive deeper into our broker-engagement playbook.
