- What next Adèle Robinson has joined iQ from CMHC
Commercial real estate debt advisory firm iQ Commercial Mortgage Strategy is expanding into the Ontario market as part of the firm’s effort to build a national network.
The new office, at 222 Queen Street in Ottawa, is the third location for the Atlantic Canada-based business, which also has offices in Halifax, N.S., and Moncton, N.B.
As part of the expansion, Adèle Robinson has joined the firm as vice president of commercial finance. The industry veteran moved over from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., where she was a senior manager overseeing a team of underwriters delivering multi-unit mortgage-loan insurance.
The firm also promoted Brenner Strickland to director of credit and underwriting. He was previously a senior underwriter. Before joining iQ in 2024, he worked at the Royal Bank of Canada for almost two years as a relationship manager for real estate and construction.
Both moves took place in February. Strickland and Robinson report to managing partners Richard Tower, Steve Foot and Greg Inglis.
iQ Commercial originated more than $2bn of debt in 2024.
