Leasing & Activations Intern

ABOUT THE PLATFORM

We are an Atlanta-based owner-operator of a small portfolio of marquee real estate assets — mixed-use commercial, boutique hospitality, and short- and long-term residential — assembled under a single design-driven thesis. Our approach is closer to a vertically integrated placemaking firm than to a traditional landlord: we own the assets, we set the creative direction, we curate the tenant mix, and we program the experience.

We are now hiring a summer intern to work alongside ownership on the most visible asset in the portfolio: a BeltLine-adjacent mixed-use development in the Old Fourth Ward, sitting directly on the Eastside Trail.

HE ROLE

This is not a coffee-fetching internship. You will sit next to ownership, work on real deliverables that affect real tenants and real events, and leave the summer with a portfolio of work you can show. We expect you to contribute, not observe.

If you are studying real estate, urban planning, hospitality, architecture, design, or business — and you are drawn to placemaking, mixed-use development, and the question of what makes a neighborhood actually work — this is the most interesting summer you can have in Atlanta.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Tenant Research & Leasing Support
  • Build target lists of retail, F&B, and showroom tenants for open bays — research their other locations, their owners, their press, and their fit with the property.
  • Sit in on tenant prospect calls and site visits. Take notes. Draft follow-ups.
  • Help organize the leasing pipeline (CRM hygiene, tenant prospect tracking, broker outreach lists).
  • Tour comparable Atlanta properties — Ponce City Market, Krog Street Market, The Battery, Westside Provisions, Buckhead Village, Colony Square — and write field reports on what they do well and what we should steal.
Programming & Activation
  • Help plan and execute the summer programming calendar — farmers markets, makers markets, fitness pop-ups, music events.
  • Day-of event support: vendor coordination, setup, signage, troubleshooting, breakdown.
  • Research and reach out to potential partners — local fitness studios, makers collectives, nonprofits, cultural organizations, brand-activation teams.
  • Help maintain the property's social media presence with on-the-ground content during events.
Research & Strategy Projects
  • Each intern owns one strategic research project across the summer — examples from past summers: a competitive teardown of an Atlanta mixed-use property, a vendor-recruitment plan for a new market series, a feasibility study for a rooftop attraction, a brand-activation rate card.
  • Present findings to ownership at the end of the summer. The best work gets implemented.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • Undergraduate or graduate student in real estate, urban planning, hospitality, architecture, design, business, or a related field. Rising juniors, rising seniors, and graduate students preferred. Exceptional rising sophomores will be considered.
  • Real interest in placemaking and mixed-use development. If you have followed Jamestown, NAP, Asana, or the Braves Development Company on their portfolios, you already know what we mean.
  • Strong writer. Most of what we ask you to do — research memos, tenant outreach, follow-up emails — is writing.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. The work changes week to week. The org chart is small. You will be asked to figure things out.
  • Taste matters. If you have a favorite restaurant or building or neighborhood, we want to know why.
  • Atlanta-based for the summer (we will not pay relocation, but the role is local and on-site).
WHAT YOU'LL GET
  • A paid internship at competitive market rates for the summer.
  • Direct access to ownership. You will be in the room for real decisions on leasing, programming, design, and partnerships. We will explain why we are doing what we are doing.
  • A real portfolio of work to show. Research projects, event-execution credit, named tenant deals you helped move forward.
  • Atlanta network. Over the summer you will meet brokers, restaurateurs, designers, BeltLine staff, ABI contacts, local artists, and the operators who run other marquee Atlanta properties.
  • A serious reference. If you are good, we will write you the kind of letter that opens doors in real estate, hospitality, design, or business school.
  • First look at full-time roles. As the platform grows, we expect to hire junior full-time staff from our intern cohort.
LOGISTICS 10–12 weeks, full-time, on-site at the property and at our offices. Start date flexible between mid-May and early June. Inclu
