Real Estate & Growth Reporter

Florida’s First Coast is one of the hottest real-estate markets in the country, with a resurging downtown, a booming industrial sector, residential development happening at a “supernova” pace and a flood of new people and companies. With that comes a number of issues, as the community deals with questions about affordable housing and smart growth, developers compete over projects and business leaders strategize their next steps. We’re looking for a reporter who can help our readers make sense of it — be the first to tell them what is happening and then step back to put the news in context. Covering real estate and growth in Jacksonville requires a reporter who is driven to do the hard work of digging up news and intrigued by the challenge of both reporting daily updates and piecing together the larger picture of the forces shaping our community. To do this job, you’ll need to be great at sourcing, comfortable dealing with data and have a drive to help business leaders understand and compete in a fast-moving world.
