Navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year has been challenging for everyone. Business owners especially have felt the impact of having to balance reduced income against ongoing expenses and have had to seek relief through government grant initiatives or negotiations with their landlords or tenants.
WLA is hosting a one-hour complimentary webinar where we have invited key industry professionals to provide updates on how the pandemic has affected the commercial leasing environment, its impact on real estate market values, and a discussion of government initiatives affecting property taxes. Our guest speakers are:
Natalka Falcomer, Groundworks – How COVID-19 changed the commercial leasing landscape. A dive into what legal arguments worked, what landlords and tenants negotiated and the future of the legal landscape.
Paul Morassutti, CBRE – Paul will discuss the overall outlook for the Canadian economy and the performance of each major sector and will highlight major trends that represent both risk and opportunity for market participants.
Lynne Ashton, Walker Longo & Associates – An update on measures introduced in the 2020 Ontario Budget to provide property tax relief for business property owners as well as a discussion on changes to the current property assessment landscape and important upcoming appeal deadlines.
This event took place on March 17 2021 and was presented by Walker Longo & Associates LLP with the host and moderator being Alexander Pletsch, Assoicate.
