Testimonials
“The acquisition of Metral Station Shopping Centre, saw a number of issues surface over the course of the due diligence that were not really vendor nor purchaser driven but that needed to be resolved. The brokers at Colliers were front and centre in coordinating the resolution of these issues and their efforts were over and above what is normally expected of brokers in the purchase and sale of a shopping centre. We have worked with Colliers before on other transactions and look forward to doing so again.” Metral Drive Holdings Corp.
