Gord Cook is Colliers’ Vice Chairman; he specializes in industrial leasing and investments, multifamily investments and infill redevelopments. During 2024, Cook closed 64 transactions totaling 3.7 million square feet.

One significant transaction focused on the sale of Canadian Tire’s 1.6 million-square-foot Brampton Distribution Centre. Cook and his team worked with Canadian Tire for over ten years to replace the 90.2-acre facility in its supply chain. The efforts led to a successful asset disposition.

These are some of the reasons we selected Gord Cook as one of Connect CRE Canada’s Top Broker Award winners for 2025. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards and transaction volumes in investment sales and leasing.

Seeking to expand their network within Colliers’ robust platform, they prioritized building strong relationships with colleagues across North America.

Oliver Kershaw and Lindsay Hockey joined Colliers Ottawa in early 2023, bringing with them an impressive portfolio of clients and transactions.

In 2024, Kershaw and Hockey participated in over 40 transactions, many of which generated fees well into the six figures per deal. As a team, they have partnered with nearly every advisor in the Ottawa office, playing a pivotal role in surpassing revenue and EBITDA targets.

Their commitment to collaboration led them to join forces with Colliers’ Tim Bristow on a key office leasing transaction. The team represented MD Financial (Scotiabank) in securing a lease at 1870 Alta Vista Dr.

These are some of the reasons we selected Oliver Kershaw and Lindsay Hockey as Connect CRE Canada’s Top Broker Award winners for 2025. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards and transaction volumes in investment sales and leasing.
