Do I need a Development Director, a Development Manager or Project Manager for my property development?
Well, that depends. Not all developments are created equal.
Each development is unique, so crystallising an achievable vision and developing an execution strategy create the way forward.
Developments are repetitive and task focused, so require Project Management and supervision over time, costs and quality. Other projects will require Development Management skills (more broad experience, process design, knowledge and guidance) and still others require Development Director Services (broad and deep skills, innovation, vision awareness and leadership) …and many require a combination of all three.
The level of assistance you require is dependent on:
your requirements and knowledge as project owner
the complexities of the development and available resourcing the project vision
the level of expertise, knowledge and innovation required
leadership, the project dynamics, teams, size and desired outcomes.
In an ideal world, the most efficient project would utilise a prescribed balance of skills against the project complexity, but projects take unique paths so this isn’t always possible. Vision, management delivery and continuity of knowledge need to be managed and sustained end to end. That’s why our approach is to provide advice, management and delivery. in one.
We empower you with knowledge to inform your decision-making across the thousands of decisions required over the life of the development, so you can make the right decisions and achieve a balanced outcome
Project Management in Property Development
A Project Manager is a specialist who is responsible for managing the delivery of outcomes or tasks in a development. In property developments, typically these are more commonly construction outcomes. However, there is an emerging need for project managers who manage stakeholder interaction, and consultants who also have the technical skills to deliver high-quality outcomes.
Property Development Manager
A Development Manager has a broader set of responsibilities and is a generalist who understands the entire development, and what is needed to complete it. They oversee the development and may have a number of project managers reporting to them. Development mangers have general and specific skills in a related field, although not always in a technical field.
Property Development Director
A Development Director oversees the development from vison to concept refinement and completion. They manage and navigate both upstream and downstream stakeholders, the project objectives, innovation and outcomes (including managing other professionals) and balance the statutory and compliance risk within commercial, ROI and design constraints.
With our years of experience, we know the best decisions are made when knowledge informs them. And with the thousands of decisions required over the life of the project, it’s critical that you receive advice at the right time so you can make the right decisions faster.
That’s why we provide Advice, Management and Delivery. In One.
Urban Neighbourhoods provides integrated development management services for large, complex and multi-faceted developments…and for landowners who need someone to ‘do it all’.

We can help explore and evaluate your requirements, hurdles and outcomes.
