Testimonials
"The building is a great fit for our operational requirements. Sam added strong value to the transaction by helping us leverage our firm’s brand power to secure the building against several other tenant groups. Sam and his team ensured the deal terms were favourable to JYSK, providing further cost savings and additional flexibility as we consolidated our operations. It was refreshing that Sam and his team spent considerable time understanding our overall business needs and challenges, deciphered what this meant from a logistics perspective, and helped us find the ideal building to accelerate our growth. It has been a pleasure to work with Sam, and Colliers, and I’m excited about working together again in the future." - Andreas Edvinsson, Director of Logistics, JYSK

“We are very pleased with the results. Sam recommended a sale price that was toward the top end of the marketplace, and informed us that he was confident we could achieve it. He upheld his guidance and sold the building in a minimal time on market at very close to the full asking price. We were impressed by his team's ability to find multiple buyers and create a competitive situation with multiple offers. We also liked how they were very diligent when dealing with the buyer and offer documents to ensure we were protected. Sam is a man of integrity and had our best interests at heart from start to finish.” - Mike Di Girolamo, President, Canus General Contracting.

"We are very happy with our facility in Milton. You added tremendous value to the transaction by helping us achieve below-market rental rates, while also securing us 9 months of free net rent which resulted in cost savings in excess of $1,000,000. In addition you helped us attain 9 months of early occupancy in addition to and immediately preceding the 9 months of net free rent, providing further cost savings and additional flexibility as we setup our operations. I personally found you to be professional in your manner, highly attentive in your level of service, and conscientious of Miniso’s business needs during expansion. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future." - Jack Liang, Business Development Executive, Miniso Canada
