Lennard Commercial Realty has opened a new Vancouver office, expanding to seven locations nationwide.

One of Canada’s fastest-growing commercial real estate brokerages, Lennard provides full-service advisory and transaction expertise to tenants, landlords, owners, and investors across office, industrial, retail, land, and multi-family sectors.

“Vancouver represents an important step in our long-term vision to connect Canada’s major markets under a unified culture of collaboration,” said Daniel Hunt, Lennard’s founding partner. “As the [Greater Toronto Area’s] third-largest commercial brokerage, we believe now is the perfect time to be able to bring our expertise to the West Coast, with the addition of two Vancouverites who already have deep connections and multi-million dollar transaction success in the market.”

The new office will be led by Allon Shapiro and Aaron Ulinder, who will both serve as a partner and executive vice-president. The two CRE industry veterans have longstanding experience in the regional market. They will guide the firm’s growth in British Columbia.

“Our expansion into Vancouver is a significant milestone for Lennard,” said Shapiro. “Vancouver is a world-class city of innovation and opportunity, and Aaron and I are confident that with Lennard’s platform we have the flexibility to design smarter, more strategic solutions for every client.”

Lennard’s latest expansion reinforces the firm’s commitment to growth, innovation, and client-focused service while maintaining the independent, entrepreneurial culture that has defined the brokerage for more than 45 years.

Both Shapiro and Ulinder moved to Lennard from CBRE in Vancouver.

“At Lennard there is a culture of collaboration, one that values long-term relationships and that puts people first” said Ulinder. “Backed by best-in-class research tools and a seasoned marketing and operations team, we’re building something to last.”

Lennard’s new office is located downtown at 800 West Pender Street.
