COVID-19 and Development with Kathy Black of Fiera Real Estate

Kathy Black is the Vice President of Development for Fiera Real Estate and is our guest on today’s show. She has seventeen years of experience in this field, fully overseeing thirty projects with a total value of over two billion dollars.

We begin by hearing about how Kathy and Fiera are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic before we go through some projects that are still ongoing. Kathy talks about industrial condos and some of the intricacies around them as well as traits that make a municipality pleasurable to work with.

Topics covered include:

  • The three different development funds that Kathy manages.
  • Challenges that Fiera is facing with COVID-19.
  • Different regulations for residential and commercial sites.
  • Providing staff with options to work from home.
  • Mitigating negative impacts from the pandemic.
  • What development looks like now in various GTA municipalities.
  • Current projects that Fiera is involved with.
  • Buying condos as an investment property.
  • The type of condo that is the most complicated to work with.
  • Characteristics of a municipality that makes it attractive for developers.
  • Working cooperatively with municipalities to move projects forward.
  • Anticipated rental rate in a non-downtown location.
  • Bouncing back from COVID-19.
