Commercial by Royal LePage continues to grow In only six months, it has grown by over 50 per cent* Royal LePage helped pioneer the growth and development of commercial real estate in Canada. Our long and storied history of commercial real estate business goes back as far as A.E. LePage himself (see timeline below). The A.E. LePage company and subsequently Royal LePage innovated to service the specific needs of buyers and sellers of commercial real estate across the country, achieving many notable successes. By 2005, Royal LePage Commercial was the leading full-service commercial real estate firm in Canada with over 520 employees before it was acquired by Cushman & Wakefield. Since that time, commercial practitioners at Royal LePage offices across the country have continued to deliver outstanding service to buyers and sellers of commercial real estate. And in April, 2012, Royal LePage proudly launched Commercial by Royal LePage, a program specifically designed to help support these specialized professionals within our sizeable network. By the end of 2012, the Commercial by Royal LePage network had grown by well over 50 per cent, to include no fewer than 250 participants nationally.
