Zeifmans’ Quarterly 3 – Real Estate Development Trends

The real estate and land development space is quickly changing, as a result, new approaches to development are emerging. Taking a page from the residential project, Reina[1], the first all- female real estate development group in Canada, our real estate team decided to examine real estate development trends through new a lens, as we celebrate equality in the workplace and 2020’s International Women’s Day.
