Patrick Gordon

Patrick has built a respected practice, focusing on a vast array of commercial real estate dealings, including acquisitions, sales, leases, and joint ventures, covering all types of assets. He’s particularly adept at guiding institutional investors and private equity clients through the complexities of buying and selling commercial properties, including securing finance and handling joint venture and management concerns.

His global experience, notably in the Middle East, has enriched his understanding of international corporate and real estate transactions, offering a unique perspective beneficial to his clients. Patrick’s expertise was further honed through a secondment in the region, dealing with contracting, supply chain, and real property matters.

Noteworthy projects under his belt include assisting a prominent industrial developer in selling a major facility and acquiring prime development land for a substantial sum. He has also facilitated the acquisition of multiple industrial sites for a leading real estate investment advisory firm and managed significant property purchases for a Canadian pension fund, including office buildings and a LEED Gold-certified warehouse.

Patrick’s work extends to private equity in real estate, managing sales and redevelopments in the Toronto area, and he has played a pivotal role in insolvency proceedings leading to the sale of medical office buildings in Ontario.

His recognition in The Legal 500 Canada and Chambers Canada as a leading figure in real estate law is a testament to his expertise and influence in the field. Patrick has contributed to the legal community with publications on real estate disputes and the impact of regulations on property purchases by non-Canadians, demonstrating his commitment to advancing industry knowledge.

Admitted to both the Ontario and New York bars, Patrick’s education includes a JD from Osgoode Hall Law School and an MBA from the Schulich School of Business, underscoring his comprehensive understanding of both legal and business aspects of real estate transactions.
