What our clients say...
For more than a decade, Kevin Nelson, and the HTFG have been a valuable partner in helping us to secure and grow our head office premises.

In our numerous dealings over that timeline, his knowledge of our company’s needs, of “off-market” opportunities, and his market relationships, have been a definitive advantage to Kardium.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Blair Quinn & The HTFG.

Our journey began while I was CFO at Absolute Software where they guided us through an expansion and renewal. Upon my move to Trulioo, we required Blair’s services for a new R&D office in San Diego and a new Headquarters in Vancouver to consolidate the offices. We could not be more thrilled with our space and what it represents for Trulioo. It embodies our local roots and global reach, giving us an environment to attract and retain top talent. We are grateful to The HTFG and would not hesitate to recommend them.

The HTFG has been our trusted real estate partner locally and throughout North America since 2018.

Their expertise in the local market and in navigating the CBRE platform to deliver seamless service in numerous markets has been the key to how smoothly our real estate strategy has been executed during this time. This is a valued partnership for Creation Technologies.

Their level of service reaches beyond our local soil: they have expanded our brand globally into markets in the US, Europe and Asia and we appreciate the team enormously.

When we outgrew our humble beginnings in Railtown, we recognized the importance for unique quality space to attract top talent for Hootsuite. The HTFG listened to our needs and goals, and after a thorough market search, and uncovering off-market opportunities through their unwavering commitment to our vision, their creative and unique process led us to Mount Pleasant, now a tech-centric hub, where our Hootsuite nest has grown into 3 different buildings.

The CBRE High Technology Facilities Group exceeded our expectations and were essential members in the process from start to finish.

Communication is key throughout the process, and whether I had a question during the day, or in the evening on the weekend, they were always there for us. They are a key factor in the success of our projects.

The HTFG at CBRE has been a long standing real estate partner of Avigilon.

Their creativity has proven to be invaluable through both our early years of rapid growth, and in our recent purchase, and subsequent sale/leaseback, of our head office at 555 Robson Street.
