Canada Real Estate News: Commercial Real Estate Leasing Platform Hightower to Open First International Office in Toronto

Hightower, a commercial real estate leasing platform, has announced the opening of its first international office in Toronto, Canada.

                "Toronto is the financial capital of Canada, a lot of the owners we meet are based out of Toronto or have a meaningful presence in the city," said Brandon Weber, CEO of Hightower. "Given the importance of the market we felt the need to have a strong local presence."

                According to the press release of Hightower in Business Wire, Canadian landlords and brokers are similar to the U.S. market. They utilize the latest technological advances to increase their productivity and visibility across their leasing business. With the continued growth of commercial real estate as a global assets class, Hightower plans to meet up with the demands for technology around the world by continuing their global expansion into Europe in the coming months.

                "Commercial owners are also now focused on how they can leverage their portfolio data to deliver analytics that drive better decision making," said Weber. "Hightower is well positioned to help meet these growing demands."

                Hightower is the leading end-to-end leasing management platform for the commercial real estate industry that helps owners and brokers save time, improve visibility, and reduce risk in their portfolio.

In the past months, Hightower has seen great traction throughout North America and has signed over 90 of the leading commercial landlords including Rudin, Forest City, Crocker Partners, Vornado, Shorenstein, and many others.
