Since joining Cushman & Wakefield (formerly Ashlar Urban Realty) in early 2016, Carmen’s primary focus has been on the leasing and investment of retail assets in Toronto’s downtown and periphery markets. Carmen leads Cushman & Wakefield's Urban Retail Services team, one of downtown Toronto’s most active urban retail leasing and investment sales teams, servicing a range of clients from institutional, multi-national groups, to individual investors and boutique tenants. The urban retail services team offers clients a full-service approach in all areas of urban commercial retail, including the leasing of street front retail buildings, working with developers on pre-construction retail plans and leasing strategies, and bringing new tenants into the Toronto market to find their flagship locations.  

Prior to this role, Carmen worked at Altus Group on their retail valuation team, valuating and underwriting large format retail assets across Canada. Carmen also gained experience on the residential property management side working on behalf of boutique residential Landlords across the city.
