Welcoming the 2025 Class of HR&A Summer Interns!

Welcoming the 2025 Class of HR&A Summer Interns!

 

The Summer Analyst Internship is a 10-week program offering the opportunity to engage in projects and skills aligned with core analytical staff at HR&A. Interns have the opportunity to work as integrated members of our project teams and build their skills in market analysis, case study research, econometric modeling, spatial analysis, preparation of real estate pro formas for a range of uses, and public-private structures, and public policy analysis.

 

Interns can work from any of our six offices in New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Raleigh, or Washington, DC, and they may help prepare written reports, presentations, and Excel models for clients, as well as firm marketing materials and proposals for new projects. Each Intern is assigned an Advisor to help set goals and make the most of the experience, and many members of HR&A’s team started as Analyst Interns.

 

 

We’re excited to welcome our Class of 2025 Summer Interns. Learn more about these dynamic emerging professionals.

 

Meet HR&A’s 2025 Summer Interns!
