Real Estate & Development Executive Search (Multi-Unit)

Norman Consultants recruits real estate and development leaders for multi-unit and experiential businesses — the executives who own site growth, the pipeline, and the returns on every unit.

The mandate

The real estate & development mandate

Growth in four-wall businesses runs through real estate. The development leader owns site selection, the pipeline, deal-making, and construction — and is ultimately accountable for the returns each new unit delivers. The best development executives pair dealcraft and market insight with the discipline to grow at the right pace, in the right places.

We recruit real estate and development leaders for consumer services, experiential, and multi-unit brands building out their estate.
