National Apartment Industry Services
We sold one of the first apartment buildings in Canada to a pension fund in 1994. For the most part, prior to that, the market was private, most family enterprises. Since that time the dynamic of the market has changed significantly. Large national companies have grown and have significant influences over 12 markets in Canada. Studying and understanding the national markets could have an influence on your real estate.

Land Acquisitions & Dispositions Services
We have been in the multi-res industry for 33 years; 13 years # 1 Apartment broker in Calgary, 10 years # 1 Multi-Residential land broker in Calgary and 10 years as principal of multi-residential developments. The most over-overlooked and inefficient market is land acquisitions. Firstly, a high percentage of the brokers have limited knowledge of the process and fail to add much value. For some reason, the purchasers allocate insufficient resources to make effective and wise site acquisitions.
- The purchase of a site has significant ramifications on the outcome of a development
- Proper resources and time should be provided and a land acquisitions strategy formulated
- Researching for market intel should be a regular occurrence
- A detailed site acquisitions due diligence plan should be carefully planned
- Various consultants add an important role in the process
- Legal consultation and legal due diligence strategy
- The procurement schedule of a site – should be given careful consideration
- For financing a site there are many options to consider
