Summer Rotational Intern
About The Position
Acadia Realty Trust is seeking a qualified, highly motivated intern to join its Summer Rotational Internship Program. This 10-week experience is designed to provide a small group of top candidates with cross-functional exposure to the entire lifecycle of a commercial real estate deal. The rotational intern will dedicate time to four core teams: Acquisitions, Asset Management, Development, and Leasing. Interns will gain a comprehensive, end-to-end understanding of how Acadia sources, underwrites, manages, improves, and leases retail-focused commercial real estate. Each intern will be paired with a dedicated program mentor and a rotation lead within each department to provide guidance, feedback, and career development support throughout the summer. Over the 10 weeks, the intern will rotate through departments in approximately 2-3 week increments, working in a fast-paced team environment on live deal and asset-level tasks. The program concludes with a capstone presentation to senior leadership, synthesizing the intern's learnings across all four teams and their interconnections.
