Colin began his career with Avison Young in 2000 and has since become a Principal with the company. Colin’s work ethic and desire to deliver excellent client service has made him one of the top industrial brokers in greater Edmonton. Colin is a member of Avison Young’s Circle of Excellence (a distinction given to the top performers in North America).

Priding himself on an ability to combine a white collar education (BComm, University of Alberta) with a blue collar background (working in Northern Alberta’s oilfield), Colin enjoys finding solutions for his client’s real estate requirements with an understanding of how the work in the field translates into specific requirements for the facility. Having a keen eye for recognizing opportunities and a knack for delivering forthright, no-nonsense advice to his clients are some of the keys to Colin’s success.

Some of his recent transactions include securing a 216,000 sf lease on behalf of SureWerx (acting for the Tenant); the acquisition of several land parcels and both leased and owned facilities for Ledcor (acting for Purchaser/Tenant); representing the Landlord on the successful leasing of over 350,000 sf in 50th Street Business Park (acting for Hopewell / TDAM); securing multiple tenants within Ninth Street Business Park in Nisku, including a 44,000 sf shop with a 43 acre modular construction yard (acting for Landlord); and negotiation of a combined 112,000 sf of lease extensions acting for the Tenant, BGE Clear Air.

Being a father (to twin boys) has kept Colin busy outside the office, spending most of his winter months at the rink. He enjoys spending time with family and friends and is always available to lend a hand to fundraising events for inner city schools and students.
