She recognizes the importance of staying connected within the ever-innovative Canadian commercial and retail real estate industries—in fact, the busy pace of her role is one of her favourite parts of her career. Most of all, Maria takes pride in providing Skyline’s valued Industrial REIT and Retail REIT tenants with well-maintained and professional places to do business.
