 Candidate Profile

I have owned and operated property management and real estate development businesses in downtown Kingston for 19 years. In Kingston, our most recent projects are Unity Point and unity Place at the corner of Princess and University Avenue. I have extensive experience in budget management, project management, marketing strategy, brand development, sales, and people leadership.

I'm deeply invested in the health and vitality of Kingston's downtown core. We have grown our company headcount and invested our dollars into this wonderful place. To grow the prosperity of our businesses operating out of the downtown core. We require tens of thousands of new knowledge-workers visitors, and residents to create an 18-hour city. There has been long been a focus on encouraging the development of new housing, which we have tried to support. However, to prosper and thrive, Kingston now needs to focus on the development of more mixed-use properties that contain, residential, hotel, and most importantly new modern office spaces. Currently the downtown office vacancy rate is less than 3% meaning there is room for very few new workers to join our community during the daytime. In order to be successful, we need modern workplaces that attract and compete with home to create vibrant streetscapes, full of people who can support our local retail businesses in the downtown core of Kingston. I hope that my experience and developing thousands of new housing units over the past 20 years will be valuable in guiding the growth of what our downtown core needs to thrive for the next 50 years.
