Real Estate Asset Management in Toronto

It definitely seems easier to transition between functions in the Canadian market versus the U.S market, especially at the analyst/associate level. I would imagine that the easiest way to start would be by targeting the companies with an asset management team in the asset class (residential, industrial, retail, office) that you have experience in, if you're doing residential development/PM then for example go after an asset management role for the multi-family team at GWL, Starlight, or a multifamily REIT. Have names for retail and office companies in Toronto as well, feel free to PM if needed.

Toronto, like any major city these days, has a pretty competitive CRE market for graduates. Slate is the ideal AM firm in Toronto, with lots of retail and office properties - also expanding pretty aggressively. Some of th REITs would also provide good experience. Firms to target and reach out to: Slate, Oxford, Dundee, Dream, Allied, Morguard, Manulife, Crombie, Choice properties, RioCan. I'd spend the next month intensively reaching out to people from those firms and grabbing coffee. Plant network seeds and drown them with coffee!
