Blair Quinn

Vice Chairman
Personal Real Estate Corporation

Commercial real estate is never the same; it is constantly changing and plays a crucial part in the  operation of every company — especially how it affects the ability to retain and attract talent. I  started in the business over 31 years ago, and in my career, I have learned that I truly love crafting  creative solutions that solve my client’s needs, including leasing, sales, subleasing, and real estate  consulting for the technology industries. 

In 1994 I co-founded The High Technology Facilities Group, Vancouver’s only full-service tenant  representation team to focus exclusively on serving BC’s technology sector. Over the last 30 years,  the tech industry has exploded, and working alongside the companies that make Vancouver a  leading North American tech city it is today, has been an incredible journey. My clients are  passionate about their business and pull out all the stops when it comes to growing their teams.  Finding commercial space for tech companies comes with unique challenges, and I get a real  charge from sourcing and negotiating the perfect solutions that help my clients take their companies  to the next level. 

Outside of work, travelling is my passion – it gives me a break from the 24/7 “deal noodling” I do  while in the city. Whether it’s hitting the slopes in Whistler, taking in art and architecture, racing my  family up the Grouse Grind, or road-riding with my wife, having that “out of market” downtime helps  me recharge and think creatively about the projects I have on the go.
