Capital Markets
Strategic value creation
Buying and selling real estate isn’t just about the transaction. It’s about the insight and intelligence that goes into the execution of the strategy.
That’s why we leverage our deep market knowledge with precise underwriting and creative marketing to provide our clients with best in class services.
Our capital markets group offers comprehensive real estate transaction services to a global client base. A trusted advisor to real estate owners and operators for more than 30 years, we source investment opportunities and provide investment sales execution for clients in Canada, the U.S., Europe and Asia.
We’re creative in our approach to bring you intelligent acquisition and disposition solutions. Looking beyond the transaction, our team is able to source future opportunities to maximize returns and value.
We combine our local, national and international experience with the best multi-disciplinary team and leading market intelligence to gain exceptional access to both domestic and international buyers seeking investment and development opportunities. We have also built valuable relationships bringing off-market investment and sales transactions to private and institutional clients.
We specialize in innovative debt financing solutions, giving our clients maximum flexibility for their transactions.
