What Our Clients Say

“Hi Victoria, Thank you for all the work that you and Brian put into this (lease transaction) for the CFI. It was a fun project to work on mostly because of the personal touches added by you and Brian.”

John Fryer, Director, Corporate Services, Canada Foundation for Innovation

“Dear Victoria, On behalf of our team at MCC Ottawa, I want to say a huge thank you for all of the hard work you’ve done on our behalf! I appreciate so much your expertise, your patience with MCC as we learned the ropes, your clear communication throughout and your accessibility. You’ve been a joy to work with!”

Jennifer Weibe, Ottawa Office Director, Mennonite Central Committee

Brian, “I would like to take this opportunity to express my utmost satisfaction with the services CBRE provided in the procurement of our new office space. I have worked with you for over ten years and you have always taken the time to understand our business needs and to provide ongoing advice on leasing issues. It is a pleasure to work with you, you are a trusted partner, professional, thorough, and have significant expertise in the leasing world. Once our office space was secured, Victoria worked closely with our team to provide strong oversight to this important project from the design, construction, furniture procurement, etc. phases to final sign-off. The CBRE team ensured project costs were in-line with the initial approved budget all the while creating a modern and enhanced office space for our staff without any impact on quality. Thank you Brian and Victoria for the expertise, professionalism, integrity and overall reliability you brought to the entire process.”

Joanne Lalonde, CPA, CA Senior Director, Corporate Services, Universities Canada

Brian, “On behalf of Ciena’s Real Estate team I wanted to express our appreciation for the excellent work and efforts you provided for the acquisition of space for our signature R&D facility in Ottawa. Securing new space for Ciena was particularly challenging given our size and complex needs. Through your network, we were able to identify an off-market opportunity within Blackberry’s Ottawa portfolio that was very suitable for us. The property’s combination of existing space and excess land allowing for design-build expansion provided us with maximum flexibility to deliver a purpose-built campus that meets our requirements. The process employed by CBRE helped to create and maintain leverage at every stage of the process while maintaining a level of transparency that allowed us to remain accountable to all of our stakeholders. Thanks again for all your continued efforts.”

Mark Gorman, MCR, SLCR, Vice President, Corporate Real Estate & Facilities, Ciena

Victoria, "I have worked with CBRE worldwide on many projects and I can say with no doubt in my mind you are in the top two for your professionalism and ability. Normally I would be heavily involved in a project, you made it easy for me to stay away. I listened to the meetings you had with contractors and never felt the need to intervene. It was a pleasure working with you and for what it’s worth you have my respect.”

Egan Pendlebury (retired), Global Real Estate Manager, SafeNet Inc., SafeNet

Deloitte Technology Fast 500
