Colonnade Management – our new look and new goals
Welcome to Colonnade Management’s new web site and first official blog. We are embarking on a new and exciting transition from an Ottawa-based property management company to a national company. We thought it might be interesting to take everyone that wants to listen along for the ride.
We decided to expand our operation outside Ottawa for several reasons:
- Our size, currently managing over 3.5 million square feet in Ottawa, means we are getting to the point where expansion of our leasing operations will start to run into conflicts if we take on more real estate in certain markets with new owners. Our property management operations don’t have to worry about these conflicts so much.
- We developed a communications tool we call Colonnade Central that will allow us to move information across a national platform far more efficiently then we had been able to do before.
- We have an aggressive style of management that builds value in the real estate of our clients and appears to be different enough that we are garnering interest from other markets.
The key to our success and that of our clients is our ability to communicate and move information internally and externally in a very efficient, accurate, and secure manner. We also have the people, platform and commitment to accomplish this and we look forward to getting others excited about our expansion.
