About

Provided by Torys LLP

Practical and deal-oriented, our real estate team partners with owners, buyers, sellers and lenders to advise them on projects throughout the real estate lifecycle in Canada and the United States.

We are trusted by clients for efficient management of their most important real estate investments and transactions. From initial structuring and acquisitions, through development, management and ultimately disposition, we help clients across the spectrum of real estate activity.

We work with real estate investors in cross-border transactions that involve properties in both Canada and the United States. We also regularly represent investors in single-asset, portfolio and programmatic real estate joint venture investments around the world.
The breadth of our counsel comes from the robust diversity of our experience: we advise on real estate projects involving joint venture ownership; the construction of large-scale multi-use developments; energy and infrastructure projects; and phased development arrangements.
