Scott Alexander Lennox

In addition to his busy commercial real estate practice, Scott also practises residential real estate, serving as a trusted advocate for clients involved in buying or selling homes. By providing personalized attention and meticulous attention to detail, Scott ensures that clients’ interests are protected, and their transactions proceed smoothly. He focuses on serving the needs of high-net-worth buyers in Toronto and beyond, with property values of $2.5M and above.

Scott also delivers for his clients dealing with municipal law matters and achieving their goals within the framework of local regulations.

With a distinctive combination of knowledge and dedication, Scott is well-equipped to provide capable counsel to clients in commercial real estate matters, focusing on 60-to-100-unit condo complexes.

When working with commercial real estate developers Scott is known for taking the time to answer all questions about the process and he won’t push clients to do unnecessary legal work. He prides himself in following the philosophy of taking the most efficient path to the right result. Clients describe him as tenacious – but still likeable.

Scott also works with planners and architects who work for commercial real estate developers, and real estate brokers for land purchases. He advocates for and preserves the rights of commercial real estate clients, such as by not infringing on land or boundary issues, or easements.

He is experienced in dealing with the challenges of Development Charges (DCs) – fees fixed by the municipality to help cover infrastructure costs – with a focus on expedited negotiations and maximizing returns for developers. Most of this work is in section 37 of the provincial Planning Act (PA) which, for example, can be expedited by giving community space to the municipality. Scott knows developers want high density, so they realize a greater return on projects.
