"Michael Brooks had the vision to create the missing link in real estate education – a text written by Canadians, for Canadians – providing readers with a deep understanding of and insight into the Canadian commercial real estate industry. What a benefit to students and professors."

—Andre Kuzmicki
Executive Director, Program in Real Estate & Infrastructure, Schulich School of Business, York University
 

Canadian Commercial Real Estate: Theory, Practice, Strategy is a comprehensive resource that outlines legal structures, institutions, and business practices that are unique to Canada. Various facets of the commercial property industry—including market valuations, debt market data, Torrens systems, accounting and tax implications, agreement of purchase, zoning and land use regulations, sustainability, leasing, and portfolio management—are contextualized through end-of-chapter review questions, suggested readings, and a glossary of key terms.

This text draws upon author S. Michael Brooks’s expertise as a commercial real estate lawyer and professor in Ryerson University’s real estate program. Each chapter offers detailed, expert coverage of a specific topic, distilled from Michael’s 35 years of experience in the industry and the collective knowledge of a team of contributors.

Canadian Commercial Real Estate: Theory, Practice, Strategy is an invaluable reference for any individual operating within the Canadian commercial industry. It is ideal for emerging practitioners, as well as experienced professionals who are interested in broadening their exposure and strengthening their understanding of the fundamentals of commercial real estate.
