Evan has spent over 15 years immersed in Southern Ontario's commercial real estate market, building a career grounded in hands-on ownership, thoughtful operations, and a genuine belief that great property management starts with integrity. As President and Co-Founder of Markland Property Management, he oversees day-to-day operations and leads the executive team in managing a portfolio spanning over 4,000,000 square feet of office, industrial, and retail spaces.

Evan holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McMaster University with a Minor in Geographic Information Systems — a combination that has given him an unusually sharp lens for market analysis, site selection, and understanding the spatial dynamics of commercial real estate. He is a Certified Property Manager® (CPM®) and a licensed commercial real estate broker in good standing with RECO, with experience on both sides of leasing transactions.

Beyond day-to-day management, Evan is deeply engaged with his community. He has served as Chair of the Hamilton Downtown Business Improvement Area since 2010, working alongside fellow board members to promote downtown Hamilton and strengthen the relationship between local businesses and the city.

As a Co-Founder of Markland Capital, Evan brings his operational expertise directly to the firm's investment platform — overseeing asset-level execution and ensuring the value-add strategies envisioned at acquisition are delivered with precision on the ground.

As Vice President and Co-Founder of Markland Property Management, he plays a central role in managing the company's growing portfolio while leading the firm's approach to capital projects, tenant build-outs, and long-term asset improvement.

A graduate of McMaster University's Honours Commerce program, John is both a licensed real estate broker and a Certified Property Manager® (CPM®). His prior experience managing a large portfolio of office and industrial properties at Wilson Blanchard Management gave him a thorough grounding in the full lifecycle of commercial asset management — from lease administration and tenant relations to mechanical upgrades and financial oversight.

John is known for the relationships he builds with trades workers, consultants, and ownership groups alike, and for the care he brings to every capital decision. He takes the long view on improvements, always asking how an investment today extends the life and value of an asset tomorrow.

As a Co-Founder of Markland Capital, John leads the firm's capital project execution across the Fund's portfolio — ensuring that repositioning programs are delivered on time, on budget, and to the standard that institutional-quality tenants expect.
