Who handles what

The neighbourhood

The firm's office sits in Suite 701 at 5255 Yonge Street, part of North York's North Yonge business corridor and a five minute walk from North York Centre subway station. The surrounding area, North York Centre, is one of the most vertically dense parts of the city; over 80 percent of the total housing stock in the area is high-rise apartments. For a firm that practices condominium law exclusively, working out of one of the most vertically dense parts of the city keeps the office close to many of the buildings and boards it serves.
