"Vancouver represents an important step in our long-term vision to connect Canada's major markets under a unified culture of collaboration," said Daniel Hunt, Founding Partner. As the GTA's third largest commercial brokerage, we believe now is the perfect time to be able to bring our expertise to the west coast, with the addition of two Vancouverites who already have deep connections and multi-million dollar transaction success in the market.

Together, they will oversee the growth of Lennard's presence in British Columbia. Lennard's Vancouver office will deliver the full spectrum of commercial real estate brokerage services – including office, industrial, retail, and multi-family investment sales and leasing.
