Scott Takes the Reins
Update the rolodoxes! Revamp the speed dials! Reformat your LinkedIns! (Or is it LinkedsIn?) Cushman & Wakefield today promoted Scott Chandler to president and CEO of Canadian operations. We asked him what Vancouver faces in the years ahead.
Scott sees the Vancouver market as slowing. "That said, vacancy is still tight in the core, hovering around 5%, and new supply is still several quarters away." He feels if there is any improvement on the outlook for the resource sector, "this market could really tighten up quickly." Scott's goal is to build on what he says the company already has. "Commercial real estate is about relationships and delivering," he adds. "So I expect the majority of my time is going to be spent engaging with our key clients across the country and ensuring we're meeting their needs." Scott has more than 20 years of experience in commercial real estate. He joined C&W in 2012 after a decade in the investment banking.
