at Barclay Street. Barclay Street has been an incredible resource since day 1, and has been instrumental in enabling us to quickly bridge the knowledge gap and gain a substantive understanding of the Calgary market.

I am pleased to write a letter of reference regarding the first-class brokerage service provided by Barclay Street with respect to the purchase of Red Deer Place. In sum, Barclay Street ensured that the disparity in size between the Vendor and the Purchaser was never an issue. Barclay Street acted as an ideal broker between a private, boutique firm. and a large institutional corporation. We very much look forward to our next transaction brokered by Barclay Street.
