About Geoff Roberts

Geoff Roberts is a Vice President at Cushman & Wakefield’s Capital Markets team specializing in Multi-Family Investment Sales. With over seven years of experience focusing exclusively within the multi-family asset class, Geoff has gained experience representing private and public owners with the dispositions of existing and new-construction apartment buildings with over $400mm of transaction value throughout his career to date. In addition, Geoff possesses extensive knowledge of the GTA market with regards to active purchasers and sellers, providing clients with the most up-to-date information for their properties. After spending two years at Colliers International as a broker, he moved to the principal side and spent two years with Starlight Investments. At Starlight, he worked closely with the executive team and investment committee and was responsible for facilitating off-market acquisitions where he gained a thorough understanding of the multi-family asset class. Geoff’s knowledge of multi-family at an institutional level gives him the ability to optimally represent vendors, with direct connections with decision makers at publicly traded REIT's, large asset management firms, and well capitalized private families. Geoff and his partner, Patrick Harris, apply significant focus to the sale of new-construction multi-family assets in Ontario. Within this sub-asset class, they have created a niche in the affordable housing space and have a keen understanding of CMHC insured financing products, multi-residential construction, and how to structure forward sales on behalf of merchant builders to institutional buyers. He holds memberships to The Toronto Real Estate Board, Ontario Real Estate Association and NAIOP. Geoff Holds a BA in Economics from Queen’s University where he was also a Varsity Rugby player and the President of the Queen’s Rugby Football Club. In the community, Roberts has proven to be a stalwart as well. Since his teens, he’s volunteered and helped raise funds for Amici, a not-for-profit organization that helps low-income children from across Ontario attend summer camps. For years, Roberts has participated in annual events including a 7.5-km canoe portage and 7.5-km canoe paddle to raise money for Amici. Email: geoff.roberts@cushwake.com
