Thinking about Canadian real estate? Start here.

You connected with us at MIPIM because Canada is in view. Whether you are entering the market for the first time or scaling an existing platform, this page outlines what you need to know before you deploy capital.
Why Canada, and why now
Canada continues to attract global capital across all real estate verticals, primarily digital infrastructure, hospitality, logistics, and residential. Population growth, infrastructure investment, and demand for industrial and data capacity are reshaping major urban and rural markets across each and every province.
For investors, that translates into active development pipelines, institutional-grade counterparties, and sophisticated financing structures, including REITs, joint ventures, and private funds.
But the opportunity rewards preparation. The right structure, the right approvals strategy, and the right local relationships can materially affect returns.
Opportunity comes with complexity
Canada is stable and transparent. It is also layered.
Real estate, planning, tax, foreign investment rules, environmental obligations, and construction risk intersect early in the life of a project. Regulation differs by province and often by municipality. Approval timelines and stakeholder engagement can determine whether a project advances smoothly or stalls.
What looks like a straightforward acquisition can quickly become a zoning, structuring, or governance exercise. Getting ahead of those issues protects both capital and momentum.
Where we come in
Mark and Kirsty advise international investors, developers, and funders on entering and operating in the Canadian market.
They support acquisitions and dispositions, fund formation and structuring, joint ventures, zoning and land use approvals, construction and project delivery, and the day-to-day legal issues that shape asset performance.
As part of a national and international real estate team, they coordinate seamlessly across offices and disciplines, connecting the legal blueprint to your commercial strategy.
The focus is simple: align structure with strategy, surface risk early, and keep projects moving.
What this means for you
Clearer entry into the market. Fewer surprises mid-transaction. Advice that reflects how deals actually get done in Canada.
And advisers who stay close to the project from first discussion through closing and beyond.
