Growth & Development 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 all by being the first to find out what is happening in commerical and residentail real estate and then being able to step back to put the news in context. Covering Jacksonville's growth and development requires a reporter who is driven to do the hard work of digging up news and is 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.
