Vice President, Project Manager

The Company: Lowe is a private real estate investor, developer and manager. Founded in 1972 by Chairman Robert J. Lowe, the company is owned by active and retired employees. Over the past 50 years, Lowe has acquired, developed or managed over $32 billion of real estate assets. Lowe maintains offices in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, Irvine, Denver, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Charleston, SC.

Lowe uncovers and delivers value beyond what might be expected from a traditional real estate company. We value collaboration and partnership with others, welcoming new ideas and perspectives. Lowe is committed not to a single service, property type or location, but to mastering the process of building value in real estate. We develop, we invest, and we manage. We create hotel, multifamily, retail, and office properties.

Often, we get the opportunity to combine all of these skills to create a new mixed-use environment. Through our foundation of steadfast values and innovative real estate services we strive to build value by creating meaningful experiences that connect people and place. We tailor our approach to the needs of each asset and the goals of each partner and find opportunity in solving complex challenges.
