Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Oxford Properties
The useful distinction to draw is whether the firm develops, operates, or only invests. Saying which of the three you want, and why, separates you immediately from candidates who say they like real estate because it is tangible.
OMERS' real estate arm with a global development record including large-scale mixed-use projects abroad.
Life sciences and logistics build-out means the portfolio is being repositioned rather than held.
Developer as well as investor, so you see assets created rather than traded.
