J. Peter Whatmore

Senior Vice President, Chairman Southwestern Ontario at CBRE

Speaker

Fifty years of dedication to clients and passion for commercial real estate have given me a unique perspective that achieves results. My experience with all property types in Southwestern Ontario combined with my North American manufacturing + Special Properties expertise allow me to solve problems and enhance business performance using industry leading real estate strategies.

I advocate for landlords and tenants with the highest ethical standards in lease arbitrations, expert witness testimony, before property tax authorities and the courts. I have earned the trust of industry leading clients, including Dow Chemical, TD Canada Trust, Diocese of London, Rosati Group of companies, and the City of London, to name a few.

My career with CBRE started in 1979 as a Manager of Canada Trust Commercial, which became CBRE Southwestern Ontario. During my 40-year tenure, I had market responsibility for our 3 offices in this market. Today I work closely with key clients and focus on client development for our teams.

In the community, I have served two terms as President of St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation, served on the Board and chaired St. John Ambulance, member of Donar Development committee at London Community Foundation, and am currently Chair of Pillar Non-Profit Capital Campaign , Chair of the Board of Western Fair District.
