Carfrae Consulting is an entrepreneurial retail leasing group.

We focus on securing and strengthening shopping centre income leading to increased property valuations.  Each asset is approached with an ownership mentality.  Our services include the sourcing and securing of key retailers, document negotiations and curating appropriate property tenant mixes. We understand the uniqueness of each property and its respective market.  

Carfrae Consulting has extensive relationships with retailers across Canada and the U.S.  Our  expertise includes decades of experience in retail development leasing for regional sites across the country.  We also provide Advisory services, including asset maximization, which we achieve through strategic capital allocation, enhancing tenant mix, property redevelopment and the assessment of current and future zoning bylaws. Resourceful and forward thinking, Carfrae Consulting is the solution to property value creation. 

Principal, Simon Smith, has over 25 years of key experience in the shopping centre leasing and development industry as a senior executive with several national landlords.  During this time, he completed over six million square feet of transactions, generating millions of dollars in asset value, resulting in long-term property income stabilization.
