As a full-service commercial brokerage, we often represent Buyers and Sellers in the acquisition and disposition of commercial property.
Whether we have been retained to buy or sell an asset, we diligently analyze all relevant data to assist our client to source or market and then negotiate the best possible transaction terms.
Change is the one constant we can always rely on in the commercial real estate marketplace. The need or desire for disposition projects can be triggered by bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions, underperforming business, relocations, downsizings, change in space and layout requirements, or the availability of more suitable locations. Using The Behar Group’s vast network of landlords, tenants, and real estate investors, we develop innovative solutions that work for all parties.
“As a boutique firm, The Behar Group has continued to impress. They have a great reputation and have significant contacts at all levels within the Canadian commercial real estate industry. Since our inception, they have sold us property and have secured numerous tenants for our portfolio.”
– EDWARD SONSHINE | CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (RETIRED), RIOCAN
Who we work with:
Land
The Behar Group has cultivated a team of land sale experts with exceptional developer and builder contacts. Our experience covers the full spectrum from farm land, employment lands, urban mid and high density development land, complex assemblies, to small in-fill townhome projects. When selling land, our team has the necessary skills, experience, tools, dedication and professionalism to facilitate any trade. In addition, some of our most notable past transaction occurs when we bridge the relationship gap for an exciting “off market trade” representing the buyer or seller, neither or both.

Automotive
We have a long history of helping to drive the automotive business. Virtually every major automotive manufacturer has mandated us, as well as a great many dealers. As a result, we have been instrumental in the creation of trade areas, the development of ‘auto malls’, and the amalgamation, consolidation and disposition of troubled North American dealerships.
Mixed-Use
One of our most important strengths has been in advising on, selling, and leasing high-profile mixed-use urban developments throughout the Greater Toronto Area as both a listing and co-operating brokerage. Our transactions have included World on Yonge by Liberty Development (Yonge & Doncaster, Thornhill), Central Park (14 acre mixeduse development by Law Development Group at Yonge & Clark), Metropolis at Metro Place by Liberty Development (Sheppard & Allen Road), the ANdAZ Hotel at Mizrahi Developments’ The One, the Loblaws City Market / T&T Supermarket at College Condos by Tribute Communities, Ricarda & Restaurant at Allied Development’s QRC West, the Sonder Hotel & Mother Tongue at the former Templar Hotel, and Absolute World Condos by Cityzen & Fernbrook (Mississauga City Centre), among many others.

Being a market leader in retail leasing and the sale of mid & high density development land in the GTA has made us the ideal broker partner for plaza owners looking towards the eventual sale of their asset. Whether selling through an on or off-market process, our team’s contacts and experience proves invaluable.
In addition, our market knowledge provides us with insights to assist purchaser clients looking for cash flow-based retail investments, especially if they are looking to uncover unseen value by improved lease-up strategies, or strategic capital improvements.
