As the Senior Manager of Land Development and Legal Counsel at Grand Manor Developments Inc. I played an integral lead role in property discovery and acquisition, which included: market trend analysis, consumer research, land acquisition, land conversion (official plan amendments, zoning by-law amendments, minor variances, site plan agreements). Subsequent to opportunity validation, I project managed full scale development and drafted contracts, tendering documentation preparation and negotiation with trades, Tarion registration and warranty coordination, trade scheduling and progress draws. Created internal corporate structures for warranties, project close out and liaising with project partners. With these deliverables completed, I've recently transitioned to an 'advisor' role for the company. My mandate not only required me to use my commercial and residential real estate law experience but provided me with experience of its application in a development setting.
