GTA COMMERCIAL REALTORS report commercial market figures

oronto Real Estate Board President Paul Etherington announced that TREB Commercial Network Members reported 529,116 square feet of space leased on a per square foot net basis through the TorontoMLS system in August. This result, which included transactions with pricing disclosed, was up by 8.4 per cent from 487,916 square feet leased in August 2013. The amount of leased industrial and commercial/ retail space was up on a year-over-year basis. The amount of office space leased was down over the same period. Industrial properties accounted for 79 per cent of total square footage leased. “The recent release dealing with second quarter GDP in Canada suggested that the pace of economic growth has accelerated. One of the drivers of this growth was a

resurgence in exports. Many segments of the industrial leasing market in the GTA are driven by the production of goods and services for export abroad, particularly to the United States. With strong growth reported in the US economy, the hope is that growth in exports will continue. If this is the case, we could continue to see strong interest in industrial properties available for lease,”said Mr. Etherington. The average per square foot net lease rate for industrial properties was up by almost 12 per cent year-over-year to $5.79. The average commercial/retail lease rate was up by 13.5 per cent over the same period to $15.82. The average office lease rate was down by 9.2 per cent over the same time frame to $12.60. There were 51 combined industrial, commercial/retail and office properties sold through the TorontoMLS system with pricing disclosed in August 2014. This result was down compared to August 2013, when 55 sales were reported. The year-overyear dip was driven by the commercial/retail segment of the market. Sales were up for industrial and office properties. Average sale prices on a per square foot basis were down year-over-year in August for the industrial and commercial/retail segments, by 12.6 per cent and 11.6 per cent respectively. The average selling price for office properties was up substantially compared to last year. The growth in the average office selling price was almost entirely due to a shift in the geography and type of office properties sold this year compared to last. Moving forward, the hope is that increased demand for exporters’ products will lead to more business investment, as firms make capital investments to take advantage of new opportunities. This capital investment could include the acquisition of real estate,” continued Mr. Etherington. Continued on page 13

MAKING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE ON INVESTMENT PROPERTIES. 8171452_3714

Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record - Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

o you have decided to invest in real estate and have found the property just right for you. You are now ready to take the next step by submitting an offer to purchase.

However, before you proceed with making the offer, ensure that an experienced realtor or lawyer who is familiar with investment properties represents you. Consider that when you are buying a home you are basically buying bricks, mortar and land. However, when buying an investment property, in addition to the bricks you are also buying rental income and are assuming tenants. Along with tenants comes all the rules, regulations and laws that accompany them. There are many extensive regulations and by-laws such as Fire, Zoning, Health and Safety issues and so on. Your offer must have the appropriate clauses and conditions to address all of the above-mentioned rules and regulations. TENANTS Your offer should request signed Tenant Acknowledgments on or before closing date, whereby a tenant confirms in writing the following: • Monthly rent, • Rental deposit paid and when, • Move-in date, • Whether any appliance is owned by the tenant, • Whether any utilities are paid by the tenants, • If there are any ongoing Landlord and Tenant disputes • Date of last rent increase • Any interest paid on the rent deposit Should a few tenants refuse to sign the acknowledgement, then a Declaration signed by the Seller would be a good substitute.

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Other information that the offer must contain is confirmation of all equipment and chattels that belong to the property are included in the purchase price (i.e. lawn equipment, vacuum cleaners, appliances, snow blowers, cleaning and hardware supplies, etc.). RENTAL EQUIPMENT Ask for a list of rental equipment that comes with the property and a copy of the contract, if to be assumed. Sometimes laundry machines, hot water tanks and even boilers may be on a rental contract. FIRE CODE REGULATIONS The offer should require that the Seller provide a “Letter of Compliance” from the Fire Department confirming the Fire retrofit was completed and is in compliance. It is highly recommend that the

Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

offer requests a copy of the annual fire inspection certificates, completed by a qualified technician. ZONING REGULATIONS The offer should request that the Seller provide a copy of a Zoning Certificate which verifies that all units in the property are self contained, legal and meet the zoning bylaws. Also ask for confirmation that no outstanding work orders exist. REQUISITIONS The offer should also be conditional upon receiving a copy of the following: • All existing contracts, warranties and invoices for recent capital expenditures, • Utility bills for at least 2 years, • Financial statements for at least 2 years, • Existing survey, • Insurance policy, • Current detailed rent roll, • All inspection reports in Owner’s possession (i.e. Structural, Environmental, Appraisal etc.), • Any Rent Review Order available INSPECTION CLAUSE Consider including a clause allowing for a full property inspection including all units; this is an escape clause terminating the offer if you are not completely satisfied with the said inspection. This condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like what you see, you can walk from the offer without providing any grounds. INSURANCE CLAUSE With today’s strict rules and regulations some properties may not be insurable due to environmental or electrical issues, etc. If there are issues, the insurance company may reject to insure or charge a premium. For these reasons, the offer must contain a conditional clause allowing the buyer to obtain satisfactory insurance at the Buyer’s discretion.

FINANCING CLAUSE Unlike residential purchases, the conditional period for arranging financing should be extended (15 to 30 business days). Reason being, commercial lenders will likely request an appraisal, environmental and/or structural studies before final approval. If you plan to go with a CMHC insured mortgage, be prepared to extend this clause for a much longer period. This condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like the mortgage proposal(s), you can terminate the offer from the offer without providing any grounds. Failure to address any of the above matters may result in unnecessary grief, potential lawsuits and the possibility of paying too much for the property. SELLER WARRANTIES The offer should contain a clause where the Seller warrants and represents items such as but not limited to the following; 1. That all devices, equipment and/or other fixtures will be in working order on date of closing. 2. That the Seller is not aware of any structural defects, hidden damage caused by water seepage or flooding. 3. That all rents as they now stand are in accordance with the RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 2006, All of which the warranty shall not merge but survive closing; ENVIRONMENTAL Today more than ever, this is a major issue for lenders and buyers. A clause must be inserted that allows the Seller to disclose and warrant that “there is not in, on, under or about the Property any toxic or hazards substances. “ Confirm and ask for warranty that there are no hidden underground oil tanks. Not all issues are covered in this article. For more information on Commercial Offers and related Schedules, contact the writer. Consulting fee applies. 8171394_3714

Not too long ago, when potential customers wanted to know about the quality of your product or service, they relied on the opinions of friends and family. Word-of-mouth is still alive in today’s connected world—it’s just become exponentially amplified with the use of online reviews.

You may find it surprising to hear that while as many as 90 per cent of consumers say they are influenced by reviews they read online, many businesses don’t pay attention. In a study of 300 small and medium sized business owners, only one quarter said that they aren’t tuned-in to online reviews, and only half considered them important. WHY ARE ONLINE REVIEWS SO IMPORTANT TO SMALL BUSINESSES? According to research by MarketingLand, 90 per cent of customers are influenced by positive reviews and 86 per cent are influenced by negative ones. And an overwhelming 80 per cent of consumers look for products online every single week. So why aren’t small- and medium- sized businesses paying attention? Online reviews can take a lot of time and it can be challenging to create a strategy to monitor them. Online reputation tools can help ensure that your presence online is impactful, bringing you new customers, and helping you to stay in tune with what customers are saying about you. “Staying connected to your clients and audience through social media has become easier with the latest mobile devices and solutions,” says Carrie Shaw, the head of marketing at OutRank by Rogers.“It will make sure you are always engaged and responsive, even when you’re on-the-go.” TURN ONLINE REVIEWS INTO A MARKETING STRATEGY. Online reviews not only give you valuable feedback about your business, but, when managed properly, can: » Keep your customers engaged and curious to read more about you and your business; » Increase traffic to your website; » Give you testimonials to show off on your website or in your advertising; » Improve your search engine optimization; » Help you build customer confidence, trust and retention. If you are able to highlight great reviews on your site, you can help customers decide whether to call you or the other guys. Online reputation tools can help you retain the clients you already have and increase the number of referrals you get by making it simple to collect reviews and make them visible. NEGATIVE REVIEWS: THEY’RE NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK. So what if you get a bad review? Just remember: No matter how excellent your customer service might be, negative reviews are just a reality in the world of small business. In fact, 68 per cent of customers trust reviews more when they see both good and bad results. » Instead of panicking, have an action plan. We suggest the following: » Show you’re listening by responding thoughtfully. » Apologize if necessary. » Empathize with the customer. » Offer a way to make it up to them. Customers appreciate being responded to and understood, and might even turn into repeat customers and submit a positive review later on. Don’t leave your online reputation to chance. Take charge of online reviews by reviewing what people are saying about you, interacting with customers, and taking the time to ask a new customer for their feedback.

BMO ANNUAL DEBT REPORT: HOUSEHOLD DEBT UP SIX PER CENT TO $76,140

More Canadians have a mortgage, fewer with credit card debt and student loans unchanged

» Albertans have nearly twice the average household debt than Ontarians ($124,838 vs. $67,507, respectively). » Atlantic Canadians took on more than $16,000 of household debt this year compared to 2013. » British Columbians also took on more debt - $20,745 more this year than last. » Those in the Prairies reduced their debt by $13,000 from last year. Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets, noted that the booming economy of Alberta, particularly Calgary, has made the province an outlier compared to other regions.“Part of the reason household debt in Alberta is so much higher than in other provinces may be due to rapidly rising house prices, which have caused home buyers to take on larger mortgages.” The BMO Debt Report also revealed the type of debt Canadians have in 2014 compared to last year:

ccording to BMO’s Annual Debt Report released recently, the average household debt in Canada has risen from $72,045 last year to $76,140 in 2014, with Alberta leading the way. The report also details how the mix of debt mortgages, credit cards and student loans - for households in the provinces has changed year over year.

The report, conducted by Pollara, revealed that household debt has increased in each region across Canada, except for the Prairies and Ontario. Alberta remains the province with the highest household debt, $48,698 above the national average. Alberta and BC are above the national average, while the other provinces are below. Other noticeable regional differences include:

» Four in ten (43 per cent) Canadians hold mortgage debt, an increase of 13 per cent year-over-year. » More than half of Canadians have a credit card balance, but the number of households has dropped from 56 per cent to 52 per cent this year. » Student loans have remained stable, with 15 per cent of Canadian households reporting this type of debt The rising share of households with a mortgage is partly driven by the active participation of first-time buyers, mainly young Canadians, noted Mr. Guatieri. “It is encouraging to see Canadians are paying down credit card debt, which costs more - especially compared to today’s low mortgage rates,” noted Tony Tintinalli, Regional Vice President, BMO Bank of Montreal. Mr. Tintinalli encouraged Canadians to speak with a financial planner to set realistic financial goals and a budget, and put a plan in place to pay down their debt aggressively, whether by opting for a shorter amortization for those with mortgages, or by choosing a credit card with a lower monthly interest rate.

HOW TO PLAN FOR A HOME-BASED BUSINESS

eing able to work at home is a dream for many people, but there are a few things you should consider before deciding to do this. Depending on the amount of space you require and on the nature of your business, it may be a very good option, but first, take a look at more of the factors involved to be sure that working from home is the best choice for you.

BENEFITS: • Cheaper than renting • Set your own hours of work • Put as much time as you want into the business CHALLENGES: • Not a lot of room for expansion of the business • Legal and health restrictions, if your business is in an apartment or home • Interruptions from family and friends Before diving in, start your research with the free business services offered by Canada Business Ontario (CBO), available by calling 1-888-576-4444 or visiting canadabusiness.gc.ca. CBO provides information on

business basics, regulations, government financing options, sample business plans and free secondary market research. QUICK TIPS: • Pick a home business idea that interests you, and where there is a need in your area. • Designate a specific area of your home or apartment that is away from the mainstream of your home activities. • Check both provincial and federal regulations for health, safety and taxation rules before you start. • Make sure you are available to your clients by keeping a consistent schedule or using other approaches to get back to them quickly. Starting a home-based business may be demanding, but with the right information and proper planning, you can make your dream a reality.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS SCHOOL:

Five tips for first year students

he start of university can be intimidating enough for most first-year students. But business students face an extra set of challenges as they balance theircoursework with gaining work and extra-curricular experience to help take them from campus to career.

to marketing and every subject area in between. Joining a club is a great way to make new friends and apply coursework to real life situations. One key tip: it’s not enough to

From co-op work placements to mock interviews and networking breakfasts, the business school experience is designed to help students gain professional polish, acquire leadership skills and learn the foundations of management, accounting and entrepreneurship.

4 MAKE FRIENDS (WITH EVERYONE) We guarantee that you’ll make friends in your classes and in residence. But don’t forget to build meaningful relationships with faculty, staff and upper year students. They can become important mentors who can help point you to oncampus resources and introduce you to new connections. Plus, if you know your career centre staff they’ll be sure to recommend you to employers who are hiring students. Do you want to guarantee straight A’s on group projects? One successful strategy we’ve seen Goodman students use is to have a group of friends from different concentrations. When it comes time to write that paper, you’ll have every subject area covered, from HR to entrepreneurship.

So how can new students and their parents make sure they are ready to take advantage of the available opportunities? These five tips from Don Cyr, dean of the Goodman School of Business at Brock University will make sure first year students are ready for the transition from high school to business school: 1 BE PREPARED (TEXTBOOK NOT REQUIRED) There’s is no need to read your textbooks cover-to-cover over the summer. Instead, spend some time getting comfortable with all that is available at your future school- both offline and online. Spend a day on campus before the first day of class and figure out where your classes will be held. Don’t forget to attend your orientation. Most schools will offer a faculty specific orientation in the days leading up to the first day of classes. And do your research online. Follow your business school on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Figure out the online registration system, how to access your student email and the online learning platforms.These online tools will be used throughout the academic year so access themearly so you don’t miss any emails or messages. 2 GOING TO UNIVERSITY IS YOUR FULL-TIME JOB While University doesn’t pay you a regular paycheck, it does pay you in grades. At the end of your degree, you will be able to use your straight A’s as currency to get a great job. Everything you learned at your summer job about responsibility, punctuality and honesty can be used in business school. So, impress your professor just like you would your boss. Show up to class. Stay on top of your assignments andhand them in on time. 3 GET INVOLVED (AND STAY INVOLVED) Want to stand out at a job interview? Join a business student club. These clubs focus on everything from accounting

sign up and attend the occasional meetings. If you really want to have an experience that stands out on your resume, get involved on the executive team, attend a case competition or organize an event. You’ll have an experience you’ll never forget and something unique to mention during a job interview.

5 ASK FOR HELP It’s a new school, a new environment and new friends. This is a big transition and it’s normal for there to be ups and downs during your first year. Fortunately, your university has resources available to help you succeed. From study skill workshops to mental health resources, there is a lot of support available to you on-campus. If you need any type of help, talk to your academic advisor or a professor as early as possible. Don’t put your academic career at risk; there are people available to help you get through any type of problem you encounter. Don Cyr is the dean of the Goodman School of Business at Brock University. About the Goodman School of Business: Based at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., the Goodman School of Business is one of only eight schools in Ontario that is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. The Goodman School of Business is home to more than 2,600 undergraduate students, 450 graduate students and has 7,000alumni worldwide.

BECOME TAX-SAVVY WITH YOUR INVESTMENT DOLLARS

ongratulations, you made it. You survived the debt temptations of the holiday season, achieved your personal best in RSP contributions and only had to pay a small amount in additional taxes for the last year. Now you can relax until the whole headache starts again in a few months. But what if you could avoid the hassle by setting up a plan that could help reduce your next end-of-year tax bill? According to John Gallagher, an investment adviser from Desjardins Securities, it’s about how you pay yourself first.

For example, when it comes to your registered accounts like an RRSP or a TFSA, your main goal is growth and/or to protect your investment. Plus, these are tax deferred or tax free instruments so there is no immediate concern about the tax implications.“It’s a question of how you choose to invest your money outside of your registered accounts,” said Gallagher. “Making money is easy. Keeping it can be the tricky part. And that’s why it matters how you invest.”To illustrate his point, here are three general tax treatment examples for an individual with an annual income of $85,000 and earning $1,000 of investment income in three different types of investments (using 2014 rates and figures): Earned interest If you earned $1,000 in interest income from a bond or GIC, you have received the most tax inefficient income. At tax filing time, this full amount would be taxed at your marginal tax rate. The taxes on your interest will be calculated like this: $1,000 x your 39.41% marginal income tax rate= $394.10, which would leave you with only $605.90 in interest.

Dividends Dividend income receives favourable tax treatment. The reason for this is because it represents after-tax corporate profits which are distributed to shareholders. If you earned $1,000 in corporate dividends, the tax payable is 1,000 x 19.86% special dividend income tax rate = $198.60. Therefore you would be left with $801.40 in dividends, an extra $195.50 in your pocket compared to interest income. Capital gains Most people are familiar with the concept of buy low, sell high. The goal of selling high is to make a profit — or a capital gain. For instance, if you bought some stock or real estate and made a $1,000 profit, your capital gain would be $1,000. Our tax system only requires you to pay tax on half of the gain. So, your $1,000 gain becomes $500 for tax reporting purposes: $500 x 39.41% marginal tax rate = $197.05. Therefore your $1,000 gain leaves you with $802.95 after tax, an extra $197.05 compared to interest income. Canada is a wealthy country with high income tax rates, but many of us pay thousands in additional tax each year because we haven’t structured our investments with tax-efficiency in mind.“Many investors find our tax system very complicated, but a few simple tax-wise steps can keep more money in your pocket,” suggests Gallagher. While these are very general examples, it’s always important to sit down with an investment advisor to discuss what’s best for you. His or her expert advice can help you identify your financial goals and risk tolerance before you start investing. Remember, creating a solid plan can be your most valuable tax-efficient tip.

Small business tip:

IMPROVE YOUR CASH FLOW WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT Eastern Ontario

ne of the most challenging aspects of running your own business is cash flow. Did you know that by enrolling in direct deposit, you can receive federal government payments faster, more securely and cost-efficiently?

In fact, the 2011 Task Force on the Canadian Payments System Review recommended to the federal Minister of Finance that the â€œgovernment could bring about a swift and secure evolution that would result in a modern digital payments system by taking leadership in several critical arenasâ€? including the initiative to move away from paper in favour of electronic funds transfer such as direct deposit. On average, the Receiver General for Canada issues approximately four million federal payments to businesses

of which 25 per cent are made by direct deposit; the federal government recognizes there is work to be done in improving the direct deposit enrolment rates for businesses. By April 2016, most federal payments need to be paperless and made by direct deposit, and Ottawa is encouraging Canadians to enrol now rather than later. By enrolling in direct deposit today you can receive your payment details automatically by email, reconcile your accounts easily and save time and money by not going to the bank. Why wait until the last minute to enrol for direct deposit for your business? You can start the ball rolling now by contacting the Government of Canada department(s) you do business with. There is more information about the program and departmental contact names at www.directdeposit.gc.ca. NC

WINNING THE GAME Why some businesses succeed and others fail By Jayson Schwarz

s a lawyer of 35plus years, I have seen many small businesses flourish and many fail. The big question is why some succeed and others fall. Here are just a few comments that may not really be legal comments but certainly reflect my observations. In addition some businesses succeed despite themselves and later no one can figure out what went wrong. Here are some insights that may prove of value.

1. UNDERFINANCED. Whether it is a start up or purchase of an existing business, most new entrepreneurs spend far too much of their funds on sizzle not steak. What does that mean? As an example, too much money is spent on oversupply of inventory, leasehold improvements or other capital investments that leaves the business short of the money it needs for marketing or cash flow until receivables turn over. Maintaining a cash reserve to carry the business through to success is critical. 2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Many people get into a business for which they have lack of training or knowledge. They think they can learn on the job. Wrong. Go intern. Work for a successful company and put in the time until you learn how it should work, what to look out for – and how to run the business. 14G COM

3. THE AMAZING IDEA. The one thing I have seen over and over is a client coming in with the idea that will change the world. He has the next pet rock, hoola hoop, slinky, iPod etc. There is a huge distance between an idea and fulfillment. Remember a great idea does not make money – the execution and delivery does. In order to make the idea work we need to develop a cohesive, coherent and practical business plan in writing. The business plan will allow you to express the detail and direction necessary to make the idea work and by the way, before an idea can be worked on, extensive market research is a critical factor. 4. THE LONE RANGER. John Donne in the early 1600s said: “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” In other words you need to recognize that every successful small business succeeds as a result of a team put together by the entrepreneur. If we try to do it alone what is quickly discovered is not the leader’s strength but his weakness. Many failures come to roost when sales are exploding, market share growing and suddenly it falls apart because the back room is missing. The entrepreneur brilliantly develops his business but loses because of faulty accounting or controls. We all need to recognize our strengths and find the right partner or staff to supplement our weakness. 5. BAD PARTNERS. Everything is always good when it starts but when it becomes too successful or too tough it usually breaks down. Trust is huge, so be careful and choose wisely. Make sure you have the relationship in writing. Also never do a deal where the risk is lopsided. Everyone must be in the same place. 6. PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH. Ok, so we can’t afford to hire a lawyer to incorporate or advise. We pass on an accountant. Hmmm, we’ll get one later. This attitude is deadly. Get your professionals at the beginning to ensure that your business is properly constituted; that your personal liability is not on the table and that the structure is in place from the beginning to allow for growth and proper process. Ok that’s enough of this sort of thing. I hope this helps to make you think, explore and consider. Good luck, start your business and success. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address.

GOING IT ALONE

Getting a business off the ground takes guts By Paolo Abate the same manner to avoid conflict with your lenders, who also may happed to be you best friend or your sister. It’s also important to keep your credit record as clean as possible and establish a line of credit, which you can access for instant cashflow at certain times. Start-ups are limited to hire only the personnel who they can afford, which often means running on a skeleton staff who may not necessarily be those with the greatest skills and experience. This is why most of us who have conceived what we think is a great idea for a business usually choose to much of the work ourselves and wear many hats in the early days.

t’s an idea that has crossed the minds of virtually everyone who has worked for somebody else, regardless of the job. As you put in time and labour that ultimately benefits someone else’s business, it dawns on you: Why can’t I just set up shop and do this myself? Why can’t I be the one taking home the big money after all the bills are paid and enjoying the independence of running my own show?

They’re great questions, but the answers aren’t for everybody. Actually making the decision to give up the security of a steady job, and the regular paycheque and benefits that come along with it, takes a lot of guts and perseverance – especially in today’s highly competitive economy. Unless you are among the fortunate ones backed by deep resources, the bottom line is this: when you first set out to become an entrepreneur, you are truly on your own. It’s just you and your idea. And it will be the marketplace – relentlessly detached and unemotional – that determines whether you make it or not. Budding entrepreneurs who do take the risk to start up their own business generally face two key barriers – capital and human resources. Many entrepreneurs owe their initial success to the trust of friends and family members, who invest funds in their startup idea. These types of loans can be troublesome if the proper precautions aren’t taken. Make certain the terms of all loans from friends or relatives are spelled out clearly in a promissory note prepared by a lawyer. You may not be dealing with a bank or a financial institution, but you have to treat repayment in 16G COM

It can take a long time to find the right employees when you’re just starting out. Some of the top talent may be reticent to work for a small start-up because they are worried about how it will look on their resume, job security or getting a bigger paycheque. You need to find candidates who share your entrepreneurial spirit and aren’t averse to taking risks. Look for people who want get in on the ground floor and grow with the business. As you build your company and expand your market, it’s tremendously important to have a network of mentors whose advice and counsel you trust. No matter how much thought and preparation you put into your business plan, you won’t be able to anticipate everything ahead of you. The marketplace is constantly moving and evolving, causing you and your business to adapt. This is where mentors can help, offering guidance drawn from experiences they had during similar changes in their own journeys. My own mentors have changed as my career progressed, but they all had a common trait that served me and my businesses well – perspective. They have been able to see things clearly from a distance when my own vision may have been clouded by emotion, allowing me to make more-effective decisions. Entrepreneurship is about taking chances, but not blind ones. Being an entrepreneur is a calling for those who not only cope well with risk, but thrive on the challenges it presents. Those who are satisfied by the comfort of a secure job and a steady paycheque need not apply. Paolo Abate is the CEO of Real Wealth Group and currently leading the development of University Heights, a medical and professional centre opening at the new Finch West Station Transit Hub in Toronto.
