Meet Geoff

Geoff started his career in Calgary after completing a Business Administration (Accounting) and Real Estate and Property Management program at Algonquin College.

While in Calgary, Geoff moved quickly through the ranks with Arnovitch and Leipsic to become The Prudential Insurance Company of America’s portfolio manager responsible for the leasing and management of over 1,500,000 sq. ft. of industrial and suburban office space.

On returning to Ottawa, Geoff joined one of Ottawa’s largest fee management companies as Director of Property Management Services and oversaw substantial growth in the management portfolio. But the development bug was in his blood, so he joined one of Ottawa’s leading suburban office and industrial developers as Director of Leasing and Commercial Development. Along with an experienced team of in-house professional engineers and project managers, Geoff was responsible for all leasing, marketing, site selection and development.
