Commercial Real Estate Services

  • Purchase and Sales

    We assist you in negotiating the terms and conditions of your agreement of purchase and sale in Ontario. We help you navigate the terms and conditions to ensure you understand what you’re signing.
  • Refinances – lender and borrower

    We help borrowers and lenders with refinancing the mortgage secured against commercial property. We work to ensure that you receive the best options to help save or raise money for the business or to purchase a new commercial property.
  • Leases – landlord and tenant

    We help both landlords and tenants to negotiate favorable terms for your lease agreements. Not only will we draft the agreement and walk you through it, but we will help you eliminate potential headaches down the road.
  • Easement Agreements

    Easement Agreements can be complex and detailed. We can either draft or review your easement agreement to ensure that you get the best possible agreement for you. We will also walk you through all the details to ensure that you understand what you’re signing, therefore minimizing any element of surprise in the future.
  • Encroachment Agreements

    An encroachment agreement is necessary when someone is encroaching on your property, or vice versa, and terms are required to acknowledge it. We have much experience and success with drafting effective encroachment agreements.
  • Development Agreements

    When you need to ensure that a site is developed in a certain manner, you need to enter into an agreement with the municipality. We have much experience, knowledge and success with drafting, negotiating and executing proper development agreements.
  • Joint Venture Agreements

    When multiple entities conduct business together, it is highly recommended that a Joint Venture Agreement be executed. We have experience and success in drafting, advising on and negotiating favorable terms for our clients.

Whether you are looking to develop, acquire, sell, lease or finance a commercial property, we can help. We know that commercial deals are very different from residential deals, and know the issues that can arise during the course of a commercial transaction and can assist in reducing costs and possible post-closing litigation.

Our team has extensive experience representing banks, landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers on commercial property transactions for a variety of properties, including strip plazas, stand-alone buildings and industrial/commercial condominiums.

Commercial real estate to us means more than simply closing a deal. Our full suite of services approach includes discussing legal structures (i.e. corporations vs. general partnerships vs. limited partnership) and taking into consideration all aspects of the deal to ensure the desired results of our clients are being met.
