  • Over the past two decades we have done business with Jesse Rudge through his time at Avison Young, Melcor and now Avatex.  During that time we have represented several national retailers including Starbuck, Cobs Bread, Rexall Drugs, H&R Block and Princess Auto and in all cases we’ve been happy to deal with Jesse in his various positions as he has a demonstrated track record of honesty and integrity that warrants repeat business.  The result has been the completion of several transactions with our national tenants as well as some regional banners such as Original Joe’s.  Over the past eighteen months Jesse has been one of only two developers in Western Canada from a field of forty who have managed to deliver a new project to Starbucks on time without significant deficiencies or delays.  Jesse has managed to deliver when many of his larger competitors have not even come close. His track record means we continue to discuss new opportunities with Jesse and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.”
