Overview
NOW Hiring! Accountant
Pay rate: $80K – 95K
Location: Chicago, IL
Who We Are:
HRP is a transformation company focused on acquiring complex former industrial sites that are too often overlooked, underutilized, and disconnected. Our properties were once engines of jobs and industry but are now dormant and represent blight in our communities. At HRP, we transform these properties for the future, starting a new chapter of opportunity.
WE RESPECT the communities we join and the people who proudly built them. WE PROTECT the environment we share through remediation and redevelopment. WE CONNECT the past to a bold new future of economic vitality and opportunity.
We put sustainability at our core, forming the foundation of our projects, instead of introducing sustainable elements into traditional development late in the process. We are actively improving and reclaiming our sites from day one, ensuring our work will result in better environmental outcomes and build diversified economic engines that will endure for future generations.
The sites we redevelop come with a multitude of challenges, but where others see decay, we see potential for rebirth and renewal. We see an opportunity for job creation and economic revitalization. We see an opportunity to remediate environmentally challenged land to build healthier neighborhoods. We see an opportunity to connect our projects back to the communities. The HRP Way is our holistic approach to redevelopment, guiding our work and driving our team to deliver transformational projects.
