Job Description

What if you could help decide where the next great community gets built — and then make it happen?

ADI Development Group is one of Canada's most innovative real estate developers, with over 4,000 units and $3 billion in built value taking shape across the GTHA. But we're not just building homes — we're on an insurgent mission to reinvent the entire customer experience, delivering faster, better, and more cost-effectively than anyone thought possible. As an Adian, you'll shape the communities people call home, create landmarks that endure for generations, and do work that directly changes lives. We champion ownership at every level, move with a bias toward action, and are just as committed to developing tomorrow's leaders as we are to developing land.

The Role

This is where strategy meets dirt. As a Land Development Associate, you'll work at the intersection of planning, design, and execution — helping take ADI's residential condominium projects from a pin on a map to shovels in the ground. You'll dig into feasibility analysis, navigate municipal approval processes, coordinate with consultants and government stakeholders, and help keep our projects aligned with Ontario's evolving regulatory landscape. You won't be watching from the sidelines — you'll be embedded in one of the GTHA's most active development pipelines, getting hands-on exposure to complex, large-scale projects that shape entire neighbourhoods. If you're early in your land development career and want to learn fast by doing real work with real stakes, this is the role.
This is a temporary 12 month contract.

What You'll Be Doing

Planning & Approvals

  • Support the land development approvals process for residential condominium projects, including zoning amendments, site plan approvals, and condominium registration
  • Prepare and coordinate submission packages for municipal and provincial review
  • Track project timelines against approval milestones and flag risks early
  • Stay current with changes to the Ontario Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Municipal Zoning Bylaws, and Official Plans as they affect our portfolio

    • Site Analysis & Feasibility

    • Conduct site analysis including land characteristics, environmental constraints, servicing capacity, and infrastructure availability
    • Contribute to market research and feasibility studies that inform acquisition and development decisions
    • Assist in evaluating potential development opportunities and preparing recommendations for leadership

      • Stakeholder Coordination

      • Coordinate with architects, engineers, planners, and design consultants throughout the development process
      • Build and maintain working relationships with municipal planning departments, regulatory agencies, and government authorities
      • Support community engagement efforts, including public consultations and project presentations
      • Liaise with legal counsel to ensure compliance with the Condominium Act and all applicable regulations

        • Project Support & Continuous Improvement

        • Monitor project risks throughout the development lifecycle and escalate issues with proposed solutions
        • Assist with post-project analysis to capture lessons learned and improve future delivery
        • Maintain organized project documentation, compliance records, and approval status tracking

What You Bring

Experience & Education

  • 2–5 years of experience in land development, urban planning, or real estate development, ideally within residential or condominium projects in Ontario
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Urban Planning, Real Estate, or a related discipline

    • Technical Knowledge

    • Working knowledge of Ontario land use planning regulations including the Planning Act, Municipal Zoning Bylaws, Official Plans, and Provincial Policy Statements
    • Familiarity with the condominium development lifecycle: land acquisition, due diligence, site planning, building permits, and condominium registration
    • Understanding of the Tarion Warranty Corporation’s registration process and warranty obligations
    • Awareness of sustainable development principles and green building practices relevant to Ontario residential projects

      • Skills & Attributes

      • Strong written and verbal communication—you’re comfortable drafting submissions, presenting to committees, and coordinating across technical teams
      • Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and competing deadlines
      • A collaborative mindset with the confidence to ask questions, raise issues, and contribute ideas
      • Adaptable and resilient when navigating shifting regulations, market conditions, or project scope
