Our Firm
Oakridge is a commercial real estate advisory and asset management firm with a track record of identifying under-utilized assets with potential for repositioning through capital investments, development, strategic partnerships and improved management. Our expertise is in sourcing and uncovering real estate assets with unrealized potential and unlocking value through creative measures. To find success, we step outside of the office and think outside of the box.
At Oakridge, we believe in transparency when working with clients, project partners, vendors, property owners, business operators, and investors. It is our commitment to the highest standards of integrity that have led to years of success and long lasting relationships with the people we collaborate with.
Our team has extensive experience managing property acquisitions, dispositions, land development, planning entitlements, market research and financial analysis for highly respected real estate companies in the Greater Toronto Area.
We look forward to exploring your opportunities with you.
Our Business
Core Values:
-
Transparency: We share pertinent information, whether positive or negative, regardless of the expected reaction. This allows our clients and partners to understand every detail in order to make the most informed decisions.
-
Integrity: We always act in the best interest of our clients, doing the right thing even when no one is watching or paying attention. We treat others as we would want others to treat our closest friends and family members.
-
Meritocracy: We debate every decision internally until the best decisions or solutions win out. This ensures that no stone is left unturned when guiding our advice to our clients, partners and investors.
-
Trust: We think in terms of years and decades, not deals. We will always put a relationship before short term outcomes or benefits.
Areas of Focus:
-
Transaction Advisory: We specialize in mid-market acquisitions and dispositions typically ranging from $5 million to $30 million in asset values. We pair off-market sellers with the right buyers.
-
Private Credit & Equity Advisory: We structure private credit and equity transactions and assist in the formation of asset-based secured lending and GP/sponsor level co-investments.
-
Investment Advisory: We advise on development and value-add real estate projects for residential (development land, multi-family, seniors housing and student housing) and industrial assets (small-bay multi-tenant and single tenant NNN leased assets).
