Akin proudly introduces the Akin Real Estate Advisory (AREA) Committee.
Akin is excited to announce the creation of a real estate advisory committee composed of local commercial real estate professionals. Akin Real Estate Advisory (AREA) was formed to drive value for Akin by providing growth strategies, operational experience, and expertise in support of the organization and artists across Toronto.
With the help of AREA, Akin seeks to continue expansion and impact, build a formal space strategy, and broaden property owner / developer relationships.
“We have been working with this team of commercial real estate professionals for the past year and it’s been so exciting to tap into their expertise, elevate our plan, and tune our focus with this additional support” said Oliver Pauk, Director of Akin.
“We are looking forward to continuing to partner with Akin and to support them with their real estate strategy. The AREA committee strongly believes in the work Akin is doing to support the arts in Toronto, and we are proud to lend our expertise to expand their reach even further” said AREA Committee Member, Heidi Tibben.
The AREA committee consists of many of Toronto’s leading real estate professionals: Katie Fong (Slate Asset Management), Ayelet Klaczkowski (KingSett Capital), Joshua Mitchell (University of Toronto), Julia Morassutti (Slate Asset Management), Jonathan Peretz (JLL Canada), Liza Stiff (TAS), Heidi Tibben (Carttera), and Ashley Wedlock (KingSett Capital).
We are grateful for the support of the AREA team and are excited for the insights they will share that shine a light on opportunities ahead of Akin to further our work in advocating for artists and creative spaces in the city of Toronto.
