Adding value to TDSB Real Estate
Senior Real Estate Officer
Stepping into the Real Estate and Leasing Department at the Toronto Lands Corporation you will find a small diverse team of exceptional professionals busy at work, staying on top of the wide range of complex situations that arise each day as the stewards, asset managers and advisors of the TDSB’s more than 600 properties. With a focus on bringing people together in livable, sustainable, and inclusive spaces, the TLC Real Estate and Leasing team brings valuable experience and dedication to the goals of the TDSB, providing expert advice on the strategic management of its real estate portfolio.
A regular day in the life for the Real Estate and Leasing Team might include working on property acquisitions for new schools on vacant lands or in new urban towers, leases, joint ventures with developers, redevelopments, licenses, shared use and temporary access agreements for TDSB properties. There is no limit to the diversity of responsibilities. When Public agencies require the use of TDSB property to complete infrastructure projects, that process starts with the Real Estate and Leasing Team. When advice is needed on childcare real estate matters for over 23,000 children, that assistance comes from the Real Estate and Leasing Team.
The TDSB leasing portfolio consists of more than 720 leases that generate over $20M in gross revenue annually. This creates opportunities to repair, replace and modernize school buildings. Working collaboratively with the community, actively seeking to enhance student benefits throughout the City, exploring opportunities to create innovative schools, and planning school modernization strategies that support the delivery of a world class public education, are daily conversations in the Real Estate and Leasing department. We believe new and innovative schools help students to thrive and reach their potential. Let us know if you agree.
